History
The village was established in 1955 by Hapoel HaMizrachi. The first residents were immigrants from North Africa, most of whom were from Morocco. They were later joined by more immigrants from Iran and Iraq. It was named after the Biblical book Proverbs 3:17: The Wisdom - "Her ways are ways of pleasantness".
