The village also functions as a community settlement for its community of non-members
History
The village was established in 1948 by a gar'in of youth from South Africa, Romania and Egypt from the youth movement HaNoar HaTzioni as a kibbutz on Shimron Hill in the Lower Galilee, in the area now covered by the community settlement of Timrat. It was named after a carving in the shape of a palm in the temple: 1 Kings 6:29. It was built on the land belonging to the depopulated Palestinian village of Tall al-Turmus. In 1953 it was reorganized as a moshav shitufi, one of the first in the country. In 1954 the settlement moved to its current location due to a shortage of land at its original site.{{Cite book | publisher = Mapa Publishing | isbn = 965-7184-34-7 | pages = 555 |editor=Yuval Elʻazari | title = Mapa's concise gazetteer of Israel | location = Tel-Aviv | year = 2005 |language=he}}
