Key Information
History
[edit]Beit Hashmonai was established in 1970 by the Jewish Agency for teachers at the nearby Ayalon School on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Barriyya.[3] It is named for Simon Maccabaeus, a member of the Hasmonean family who captured the ancient city of Gezer, located nearby.
In 1987 it was designated a community centre for the regional council, with the council's offices moved to the village.[4]
