History
The moshav was founded in 1953 by native Israelis on land that had
belonged to the Palestinian village of Summeil, which was
depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[2] The name may be
based on a verse in Exodus (19:5) where the word segula is used in
the sense of "special treasure" or jewel: "Now if you obey me fully
and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my special
treasure (sgula)."
