History

The village was established in 1979 as a kibbutz, and was named after Zivia Lubetkin, one of the leaders of the Jewish underground in Nazi-occupied Warsaw. The kibbutz was closed in 1986 and the site taken over by members of the "Atid" (lit. Future) gar'in, who founded a community settlement with the assistance of the Jewish Agency.

The founders defined the settlement as "a Jewish Israeli settlement according to the way of Emin".
