History
[edit]Revaha was established in 1953 by Jewish immigrants from Kurdistan on land located near the depopulated Palestinian villages of Karatiyya[2] and Hatta.[3] The name of the moshav is derived both from the symbolic significance of the name itself and from the quote in Pirkei Avot 1:5: "Let thy house be wide open".[4]
The majority of residents are national-religious. [citation needed]
