The town began in the early 1950s as temporary camps receiving Jewish immigrants from North Africa. It eventually gained official status as a local council and became an established community.
The tomb of Honi the Circle-Maker draws visitors and members of religious communities who come to pray and reflect on its spiritual significance. The site remains a place where people gather to connect with this historical religious figure.
The location sits in hilly terrain and is best explored during daylight hours for clear visibility of the pathways. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the ground is uneven and walking is often needed to reach different areas.
