Two Jewish children from Morocco, Ruth Avodah and Meir Saperta, in Shomera, Israel; 1950. x
Shomera is a moshav which was founded in 1949 by Jewish immigrants from Romania and Hungary, however they would abandoned the settlement that same year. In 1950, Jewish immigrants from Morocco moved in instead and turned Shomera into a successful agricultural community despite being next to the border with Lebanon and in close proximity to the still-ongoing threat Hezbollah poses. In 2015, Shomera had a population of 341.
