In the 1990s, Nahal Beka had a large Russian immigrant population living in caravans and trailer homes. Since then, wealthier members of the Russian Jewish population had moved there and pushed for better services. Sports facilities had been built, and members of the community established the Center of Caucasian Immigrants.
American Jewish philanthropists had inaugurated a program in Nahal Beka to assist new immigrant youth from the Caucasus integrate in Israeli society. Youngsters aged 13–16 took part in a variety of after-school programs together with native-born Israelis that include field trips, leadership workshops and a summer camp.[1]
In 1995 the temporary housing was evacuated and removed. Meanwhile, a neighborhood with single housing was built to the west, carrying the same name.
