They earned a living from agriculture and a sanatorium, Beit Alumot. In 1947 they established a permanent settlement on a hill overlooking Lake Kinneret. Due to a shortage of water, agricultural land and new members, the kibbutz was dismantled in 1969 and re-established the following year by immigrants from Argentina.
In 2008, Shimon Peres visited the kibbutz, which he helped to found, with his children. Peres' daughter Tzvia (Tziki) Walden was born there. Before the establishment of the state, Peres worked on the kibbutz as a shepherd and a farmer.
