History
The village was established in 1955 by Sephardic Jewish immigrants and refugees from North Africa, led by Shalom de Palenzuela Levi-Kahana and was initially named Dir Duban Bet after the depopulated Arab village of Deir al-Dubban. It was later renamed Luzit after almond trees, which are common in the area.
