A gar'in group by the same name was formed in the Israeli settlement of Yamit in 19791. However, its establishment on the ground was delayed by the Camp David Accords which meant that Israel had to withdraw from Sinai. The moshav was founded in April 19821 by the eponymous Aguda Shitufit (Co-operative Union) with the help of the Jewish Agency. ==References==
