History
The moshav was founded in 1950 by Yemenite immigrants,[2] on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Khirbat al-'Umur.[3]
Giv'at Ye'arim is assumed to be the site[4] of Gibeath, a city mentioned in the Book of Joshua (18:28).[5]
In the past, the majority of Giv'at Ye'arim residents worked in agriculture, particularly viticulture and poultry-breeding. Today, many hold jobs outside the moshav, mainly in Jerusalem and Mevaseret Zion.
