==History== The kibbutz was established in 1949 by Jewish immigrants from Hungary who were members of the Zionist Socialist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair; they were joined in 1951 by another group of immigrants from England and in 1956 by another group from Brazil. The kibbutz is named after the seabird Yas'ur (petrel), symbolising the wishes of the founders to engage in fishing. The parents of Israeli historian Benny Morris were among the founders of the kibbutz, shortly after his birth.
