Beneberak

Benebarak ('Sons of Barak') (Hebrew: בְּנֵי בְּרַק, Bənē Bəraq) was a biblical city mentioned in the Book of Joshua.

[2][3] In the Talmudic era, Beneberak became the seat of the court of Rabbi Akiva,[4] and is identified as the site of his all-night seder in the Passover Haggadah.

In 1924, the Jewish agricultural settlement of Bnei Brak, which was named for the ancient city, was established 4 kilometers (2.5 mi) to the north.

Ibn Ibraq's Arab villagers subsequently renamed it al-Khayriyya to distinguish it from Bnei Brak.

A large waste transfer station, known as Hiriya, was built at the ancient/modern site, now converted into the Ariel Sharon Park.
