History

Sdeh Bar was established in 1998 as an outpost from Nokdim. It was retroactively authorised in 2005 as a neighborhood of Nokdim. Sde Bar includes a residential program for troubled young Israeli men who lack familial support. It was run by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Social Services. In 2010, the program lost state funding due to reports of drugs and sexual abuse. Baruch Feldbaum, head of security at Sdeh Bar, was convicted of assaulting and injuring Palestinians in aggravated circumstances after an altercation with shepherds at the settlement. Since 2012 a boutique dairy restaurant has been operating at the settlement.
