The opening as it read in 2010

Place in Israel Barak ( ) is a moshav in northern Israel in the Ta'anakh region.1 It belongs to the Gilboa Regional Council . The moshav was founded in 1956 by immigrants to Israel from Morocco as part of the program to settle the Ta'anakh region. The name "Barak" is derived from the character Barak in the Book of Judges (f.e. chapter 4, vers 6), who defeated the enemy king Sisera near the location of the moshav.2
