History
Antiquity
The town of Birya is mentioned in the Talmud.[1] According to the Jewish National Fund,[2] Jews lived in Birya and environs in Talmudic times.
Ottoman era
In early Ottoman era, the village had a mixed Muslim and Jewish population. The author of the Shulchan Aruch, Rabbi Joseph Caro is said to have completed one of his works at Birya. Jewish community abandoned the location in late 16th century. By late 19th century, the village of Biriyya housed an Arab Muslim community. In 1908, Baron Rothschild purchased land in Birya for the farmers of Rosh Pina.
British Mandate era
A group of Palestinian Jewish pioneers settled there in 1922 but when their efforts failed, the land was transferred to the Jewish National Fund and afforestation work began.[3]
In 1945, a group of pioneers affiliated with the Religious Kibbutz Movement settled at a site near Birya Fortress.[4]
In February 1946, after an attack on an Arab Legion camp in the area, the British army searched the village and found arms on the land. All the kvutza members were arrested and the village was occupied by the British military. In response thousands of young Jews from all parts of the country re-established the settlement not far from the original site.[2]
The British withdrew their troops two months later, although the villagers were not released until the following summer.[2] In 1947, Birya had a population of 150 Jews.[2]

Biriya Forest
The forests were planted by the Jewish National Fund in the 1940s with contributions from within Palestine, as well as the Mizrahi Organization of Great Britain, and the Mizrahi Women of Britain and America.[2] Within the forest lies the ruins of Ein al-Zeitun, with structures and spring featured along The Fighter's Path trail.[6]
