Talmon (Hebrew: טלמון), is a Jewish village and Israeli settlement in the West Binyamin region of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) at an elevation of nearly 600 metres and 18 km east of the Modiin. The name of the village comes from the family name of the family of gatekeepers of the Temple in Jerusalem who returned to rebuild Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah.[1]
[edit] History
Talmon was founded in 1989, and as of 2006, includes about 200 families, including over 500 children. Including singles, there are about 800 residents. The village is home to three synagogues, and its chief rabbi is Rami Barchayahu.
The village receives its municipal services from the Matte Binyamin Regional Council. The village of Neria was originally built on land designated for Talmon, but it is now independent.
