El Matan (Hebrew: אל מתן, lit. Towards Matan or "God's Gift") is a village outpost in the West Bank where religious and non-religious Jews live together in a communal setting. Located around a kilometer south (and inside the official boundaries) of Ma'ale Shomron, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Shomron Regional Council. It was established in 2000 by a group of religious youths from nearby settlements (Karnei Shomron and Ma'ale Shomron). It is home to a small number of singles and around 16 families.
