Added node neither found nor shown

Hello,

I've added this node: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3190440486 which has the name "argaz yerakot organi" but it doesn't show on the map automatically (should I tag it specifically? what if the main visible categories do not apply?) and I cannot even find it by searching for the name (full or partial).

Please help.

Thanks, Oren

What does the node represent? If it has a name then there must be some feature. Just a name isn't enough to appear on the map.

It's a communal hotspot for organic vegetables, but not any legally recognized commerce venue. (I'm not sure what you mean by feature. The name is not formal, it is only meant for recognition among community members)

What is a "communal hotspot for organic vegetables"? Can you describe that a bit?

A "feature" is something like a category. Is it a shop? Maybe a greengrocer. Or a marketplace?
