Tal Menashe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tal Menashe (Hebrew: טל מנשה‎), is an Israeli settlement located on Mount Amir in the Samarian hills on the northwestern edge of the of the West Bank. The village, under the administrative municipal government of the Shomron Regional Council, is adjacent to Hinanit and Shaked. The village is named after Menasseh since it is located on land allotted to the Tribe of Menasseh, and has absorbed a community of Bnei Menashe from Manipur and Mizoram.[1] It is the only Orthodox Jewish settlement in northern Samaria since other communities were destroyed as a result of Israel's unilateral disengagement plan. The village was founded in 1999 on state lands by a group of Israelis from a kollel in Mevaseret Zion.

The village's chief rabbi is Rabbi Reuven Uziel who also serves as the main rabbi of the northern Samarian communities.
