History

Members of Ihud HaKvutzot VeHaKibbutzim established Ashdot Ya'akov Ihud.{{cite news |author=David Rapp |date=16 May 2003 |work=Haaretz |url=http://www.haaretz.com/culture/arts-leisure/a-walk-in-the-haredi-street-1.9986 |title=A Walk in the Haredi Street |accessdate=13 January 2014}}
One of the kibbutz pioneers, Joseph Zauderer, who immigrated here in 1939, wrote a report about the situation in Germany until 1939.{{cite web |author=Joseph Zauderer |title= Die Juden in Remscheid 1900 -1938 |url=http://www.remscheid.christ2020.de |accessdate=13 January 2014}}
The Uri and Rami Nechushtan Museum, which opened in 1958, is named after two brothers from the kibbutz who died. Uri Nechushtan was killed in the War of Independence, and six years later, in 1954, his brother, Rami, died from a snake bite. Their father, Meir, founded the museum to commemorate his sons' artistic talents.
The kibbutz's Beit Eyal centre is dedicated to a kibbutz member who was killed in Lebanon.
