Tarum

Tarum (Hebrew: תָּרוּם‎‎, lit. Exalted) is a moshav in central Israel. Located to the north of Beit Shemesh with an area of 1,800 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2009 it had a population of 568.

The village was established in 1950 by immigrants from Yemen. The founders were later joined by Cochin Jews who had immigrated from India. Its name is taken from Psalms 89:14;

Thine is an arm with might; strong is Thy hand, and exalted is Thy right hand.
