Peduel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peduel (Hebrew: פדואל), is an Israeli settlement located on the western edge of the central Samarian region of the West Bank, about 25 km east of Tel Aviv. The town, under the administrative municipal government of the Shomron Regional Council, is adjacent to Alei Zahav and Bruchin. The Shilo Stream passes to the south, and the Shilo Stream Nature Preserve borders Peduel on the north and west.
Founded in 1984 on state lands by a group of Orthodox Jewish Israelis from Yeshivat Har Etzion in Alon Shvut with help from Amana, the yishuv is now home to about 155 families. The town is named after Pedahel, son of Ammihud, a prince of the Tribe of Naphtali.
[edit] Education
There are many institutions located on the settlement: a nursery, three kindergartens, an elementary school, a talmud torah, and the combined pre-army and hesder Eretz Hatzvi yeshiva.
