history
Archaeological remains from all periods since the late Bronze and Iron Ages have been found on the spot . A house from the Umayyad period was excavated that was also inhabited under the Abbasids . Remains from the Mamluk era were also found.
During the Ottoman period, the Muslim village was known as Yemma and is listed as such in a defter from 1555. The place appears in 1799 on a map drawn up by Pierre Jacotin during Napoleon's expedition . An 1881 report by the Palestine Exploration Fund describes Yemma as a village with 100 Muslim residents living in stone houses made of basalt .
The Jewish Colony was founded on October 7, 1901 by the Jewish Colonization Association on land that Baron Edmond de Rothschild had bought. The place was named after a biblical village in the Naftali tribal area located here (Joshua 19:33). The first Jewish residents came from Metulla and the Hauran region. The latter, in turn, had been driven out by the Ottoman authorities.
In 1986 Rabbi Eliezer Schlomo Schick founded a community of Brazław Hasidim in Jabneel , which is mainly composed of members of the Baal Teshuwa movement . In 2015 this municipality, called Breslov City , with its own schools and organizations, made up 30% of the local population.
