In the years 1930, the kibbutz faces strong internal tensions ideological, which brings, in 1934, with a transfer of population; the members of Beït-Esparto, followers of the ideas of the Mapaï leave for the kibbutz Ramat-Yohanan, and conversely, the members of this last, closer to the ideas of Hashomer Hatsaïr integrate the kibbutz Beït-Esparto.
