History
The village was established in 1952 by residents of Zikhron Ya'akov and immigrants from Eastern Europe and Iran on land bought by the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association. It was named after Elazar Warmassar, one of the heads of the PJCA. One of the residents runs a health and beauty span that offers snake massages. She uses California and Florida king snakes, corn snakes and milk snakes, claiming that contact with these reptiles is stress relieving.[2]
