Neria (Hebrew: נֵרִיָּה), also known as Talmon Tzafon (Hebrew: טַלְמוֹן צָפוֹן, lit. North Talmon) or Talmon Bet (Hebrew: טַלְמוֹן ב', lit. Talmon B) is a national-religious communal Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located next to Talmon and between Modi'in Illit and Ramallah, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. It has a population of around 145 families. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
The village was established in 1991 by a number of families who had met at Mercaz HaRav yeshiva, and was named after Rabbi Moshe-Zvi Neria. The community is led by spiritual leader Rabbi Michael Hershkovitz, a current teacher at Mercaz HaRav.
