Ateret (Template:Lang-he-n) is a village and Israeli settlement in the Samarian hills of the West Bank located in the municipal jurisdiction of the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council 40 km north-west of Jerusalem on a hilltop at an elevation of 760 metres. To the west, the view is not obstructed from Hadera in the north to Ashkelon in the south of Israel. The settlement in Ateret is illegal under international law.[1]
History
The village is one of the first settlements that were built after the Six Day War in the area. The name of the village comes from the ancient Jewish village of Atarot that existed nearby where the current Palestinian village of Al-Atara is located. Founded in August 1981 by a group, led by Tzvi Halamish, of eight families and a few singles, as of 2006, it was home to about eighty families, including over 400 children and youth.
Education
Ateret has several nursery schools and kindergartens. The main primary school serving the children is in Neve Tzuf. The main high schools serving the village's youth are in Bet El.
A unique institution in the village, perhaps unique in the world, is a musical yeshiva named Kinor David (lit. David's Harp) led by Rabbi Mordechai Hershkop. The school enables the youth to integrate religious and secular studies while also allowing the children to nurture their musical talent.
