Key Information
History
[edit]Tarum was established in 1950 on land which had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Sar'a.[2]
The founders of Tarum were immigrants from Yemen, who were later joined by Cochin Jews from India. Its name is taken from Psalms 89:14, as is the name of the neighbouring moshav Ta'oz;[3][4]
Thine is an arm with might; strong is Thy hand, and exalted is Thy right hand.
