History[]

The village was established in 1933 by Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe, and was named after the author Rabbi Yehiel Michel Pines. It hosts an ulpena, a religious girls high school, named "Ramat Karniel" (Karniel's height). It is the first ulpena in Israel and therefore it is called "Em HaUlpenot" (mother of all ulpenas).
