History

On 15 April 1948, the Harel Brigade captured the Arab village of Saris overlooking the highway to Jerusalem. The strategic hilltop position had been used to fire on Jewish vehicles travelling on the road below. [2] [ citation needed ] Later that year, a group of immigrants from Eastern Europe founded a kibbutz on the site, they called him 'Shoresh' after the biblical village of Soris, which was, according to the Septuagint translation of the Book of Joshua, located in the territory of the Tribe of Judah. The biblical name was preserved in the name of the nearby Arab village, Saris. [3] Four years later, it became a moshav. Today Shoresh operates a hotel, conference center and banquet hall.

In July 1995, a fire destroyed the moshav's poultry and orchard industries, damaged the hotel, and left over half the moshav members homeless. [4]
