History

The village was founded in 1931 as part of the Settlement of the Thousand, and together with Herut, Ein Vered, Tel Mond and Kfar Ziv, it formed part of Gush Tel Mond (lit. Tel Mond Bloc). It was named after Moses Hess, a secular Jewish philosopher and one of the founders of socialism and Labour Zionist thought.

The founding group was organized under the Izrael organization, that was meant to establish a moshav on land bought from the village of Zarin in the outskirts of the Jezreel Valley, near Kfar Yehezkel. The idea for creating the new organization was conceived by the agricultural workers and Zionist pioneers, Nisan Boord and Mordechai Te'eni.
