The village was established in 1980 near Mount Kadarim, which was named after the potters of the village of Hananiah, famous for its pottery during the time of the
Talmud and the
Mishnah. Due to its proximity to a
quarry at its initial site, the kibbutz was moved to its current location in 1987. Some believe that
Habakkuk is buried near Kadarim, though others put his burial place near
Hokuk or at
Toyserkan in
Iran. ==References==
