Sde Ya'akov was established in 1927 by pioneers who settled in Sheikh Abreik after its purchase by the Jewish Agency.[2] It was the first settlement founded by Hapoel HaMizrachi and was named for Yitzchak Yaacov Reines, founder of the Mizrachi movement.[3]

Ancient site of Tel Yizhaki

[edit]

Several kilometers to the southwest, lies an unexcavated tell named Tel Yizhaki or Hurvat Izhaqia. Among the discoveries at this site is a column base featuring an Aramaic inscription in Hebrew script, mentioning a donor named "Yudah son of Sardah". It is believed that the inscription was part of an ancient synagogue.[4]
