History
Revaha was established in 19531 by Jewish immigrants from Kurdistan, on the land of the former depopulated Palestinian villages of Karatiyya and Hatta. The name of the moshav is derived both from the symbolic significance of the name itself and from the quote in Pirkei Avot 1:5: "Let thy house be wide open". The majority of residents are national-religious.
