Revision as of 07:39, 25 February 2010
East Talpiot is a disputed residential development located south-east of Jerusalem, established in 1973 in the upswing of building that followed the Six-Day War.[1] Due to its location over the Green Line in an area designated "no man's land" in the 1949 armistice between Israel and Jordan, the United Nations[2][3] and European Union[4] consider it an 'illegal Israeli settlement'. However, Israel disputes this, instead classifying it as a 'neighborhood' in the municipality of Jerusalem.[citation needed] East Talpiot is considered one of Jerusalem's "ring neighborhoods".[by whom?]
History
Before the new housing projects built after 1967, the area was known as Armon Hanatziv (lit. Governor's Palace) after the headquarters of the British High Commissioner located on the hilltop.[5] In 1928, Rachel Yanait Ben-Zvi, wife of Israel's second president Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, established an agricultural training farm for young women, the first of its kind in the country, in the area of East Talpiot. Both the farm and the Arab Girls College, another historical landmark, are earmarked for conservation.[6] The Lili and Elejandro Shaltiel Community Center was inaugurated in 1980.[7] Beit Canada, an absorption center for new immigrants, is located in East Talpiot.[8]
Demography
In 2006, some 14,800 people were living in East Talpiot. Mainly populated by young couples when it was first established, the neighborhood is now aging. For the most part, East Talpiot is a secular neighborhood, although there are 15 synagogues including one affiliated with the Masorti (Conservative) movement.[9][10]
Archeological findings
An ancient tomb that some archeologists believe to be the tomb of Jesus and his family based on the names inscribed on the ossuaries was discovered in East Talpiot when a housing project was being built. An ancient aqueduct that brought water to the Temple Mount from springs located outside of Jerusalem was also discovered in East Talpiot. This waterworks, a highly sophisticated engineering feat, continued to function for more than two thousand years.[11]
