Esh Kodesh (Hebrew: אש קודש, lit. Fire of Sacredness) is an Israeli settlement outpost in the West Bank. Located near Shvut Rachel, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. It has a population of around 11 families.
The outpost was established in 1999 by a kvutza of youths.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
