Kfar Eldad

Kfar Eldad (Hebrew: כפר אלדד) is an Israeli settlement and a Communal settlement in the Gush Etzion Regional Council, [1] south of Jerusalem. The settlement is in the vicinity of Herodion and overlooks the Judean Desert. It is named after Israel Eldad, a Lehi member and Israeli philosopher.
The population of the settlement is made up of both native born Israelis and Russian immigrants. Secular and religious people live side by side in the settlement. The settlement was established by families from the nearby Nokdim settlement, and originally served as the site of temporary housing prior to that town's construction.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
