History
The community was founded as a 'moshav shitufi' (collective settlement - a combination between kibbutz and moshav) on 4 July 1937, as part of the Tower and stockade program, and was named after the "Moledet" organization of the founders, who were immigrants to Mandate Palestine from Germany. In 1944, the community became a moshav shitufi named "Bnei Brit", named after the Bnai Brith organization in the United States, which donated money for purchasing the land, in honor of their president Alfred Cohen. The place then changed its name to "Moledet-Bnei Brit" until in 1957, when it finally reverted to just "Moledet."
