On May 28, 1951 a group of astronomy enthusiasts who immigrated to Israel and who came from Czechoslovakia and Germany, including doctors Heilbruner and Zaichik founded a nonprofit company that eventually, in 1953, with the patronage of then Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, became the Israeli Astronomical Association. Its mission: to promote and disseminate knowledge and develop Astronomical sciences related to the newly established State of Israel.
The first President of the Association was Dr. Zaichik office he exercised for many years until it was forced to resign because of health problems.

Due to a temporary decline in the activities of the Association in Jerusalem and the transfer of its center of action in Givatayim, in the center of the country, crossing the jurisdiction of its facilities in 1986, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
In 1967 the Association opened the astronomical observatory in the city of Givatayim. The site was chosen due to their altimetrical including sea level and the same distance adequate to mitigate possible influences hygroscopic. The observatory was built with funds from the Association of the Municipality of Givatayim and foreign grants received by the then Chief Engineer Joseph Fuks Association.
