History
The village founded in 1951 by Kurdish Jews immigrants from the village of Sandur in Iraq. The name "Sdei Trumot" is based on the lamentation of David for Saul and Jonathan who were killed in a war against the Philistines on nearby Mount Gilboa. The words "Sdei trumot," meaning "fields of offerings," appear in Samuel II, chapter 1, verse 21.[2]
Sdei Trumot was established on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Samiriyya.[3]
On 19 June 2003, a suicide attack in the moshav killed the storekeeper, Avner Mordechai.[4]
