History

The village was established in 1981. The second part of its name is an acronym for the name of the geographer and historian Avraham Ya'akov Brawer.^[2]

In November 2009, Mitzpe Aviv amended its bylaws to require that members share the community's vision and goals, which include Zionism and Israel as a Jewish state.^[3] Two other community settlements in the area, Manof and Yuvalim, had previously considered similar requirements, but did not implement them.^[3]
