Its name is taken from a passage in the Book of Isaiah 32:18: "My people shall dwell in an oasis of peace." The village was conceived by Major Wellesley Aron, grandfather of the Israeli singer David Broza. In 1969, Bruno Hussar, an Egyptian-born Dominican brother (of Jewish origin) established a hermitage on forty hectares of land leased from the Trappist abbey at Latrun for people searching for solitude. Aron and Hussar saw the place as an opportunity to "expand on the idea of finding peace within yourself as a prelude to bringing peace to the community and the region".
