History

Azriel was founded in 1951 by immigrants from Yemen. It was named after Azriel Hildesheimer, a founder of Modern Orthodox Judaism.{{cite book|last=Hareuveni|first=Imanuel|year=2010|url=https://kotar.cet.ac.il/KotarApp/Viewer.aspx?nBookID=93576566#737.4228.6.default|title=Eretz Israel Lexicon|lang=he|publisher=Matach|page=737}}

In 2006 the moshav approved an expansion plan to bring in new families. Twenty families moved in by the summer of 2008.
