Israeli settlements in the West Bank are considered by the international community to be illegal under international law, which the Israeli government disputes.[2]
History
The settlement was established in 1981[3] by the Jewish Agency and Aish HaTorah.[4] and was named after the Biblical prophet Amos, who lived in the village of Tekoa nearby.
One of the community's founders was rabbi and former actor Uri Zohar.[5]
By end of the 1990s, almost half the population was made of immigrants from the Soviet Union.[6] Many others including the Rabbi, Zev Wolf Charlop, are immigrants from the United States.
The settlement has two elementary schools, a Beis Yaakov for girls, and cheder for boys.
