Yitzhar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yitzhar (Hebrew: יצהר‎) is an Israeli settlement located in the West Bank's Samarian mountains near Nablus/Shechem just off Route 60 north of the Tapuach Junction. The meaning of 'Yitzhar' is a certain high quality olive oil. The village was established on state lands in 1983 as a pioneer Nahal military outpost and demilitarized only a year later when turned over to residential purposes in 1984 with the assistance of the Amana settlement organization.

Over 130 families, including over 500 people, live in this Orthodox Jewish community which is within the municipal jurisdiction of the Shomron Regional Council. The location had been chosen to take advantage of the large reserve of state lands. Yitzhar is known for the farms and hamlets (outposts) that dot the otherwise barren hills around the village.

Education is a priority of the community and several institutions operate locally: nurseries, the boy's Zilberman Talmud Torah, the Dorshei Yichudcha Yeshiva high school, and the Od Yosef Chai "Higher Yeshiva" that was previously located in Joseph's Tomb.
