Bar Yohai, a Jewish religious community in northern Israel built on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Safsaf. The 2015 opening said the villagers fled to Lebanon after the Safsaf massacre in October 1948, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The opening today no longer names the massacre, though the word survives once elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that villagers fled the site after the Safsaf massacre during the 1948 war.

The opening as it read in 2015
Bar Yohai ( ) is a religious Jewish communal settlement near Har Meron in northern Israel . It belongs to Merom HaGalil Regional Council . It was founded in 1977 as a settlement for olim from the former Soviet Union. Those olim were not interested in living such a distance from a city nor in such austere conditions (each side of a duplex was less than 650 square feet). Sochnut officials then offered the failing yishuv to Religious Zionist families and members of nearby moshavim . This move was very successful as Yishuv Bar Yohai grew to over 100 families, including a small group of Canadian olim, of which three were physicians. The community is situated on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Safsaf , whose villagers fled to Lebanon after the Safsaf massacre in October 1948, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war . The community is named after rabbi Simeon bar Yochai who according to Jewish tradition was buried on Mount Meron nearby.1
