==History== The village was established in 1950 on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Sawafir al-Sharqiyya. Most of the founders were immigrants from Iran, although there were also some from the Maghreb, particularly Morocco. It was named after Zrahia, an ancestor of Ezra (Ezra 7:4), who came to the Land of Israel after the Babylonian captivity.
