Image ISR HW458.png 100px File ISR HW508.png 100px Image ISR HW578.png 100px The road was the first immediate step in implementing the Allon Plan which was perhaps one of the earliest Israeli initiatives to deal with the territory west of Jordan that was newly occupied in the 1967 Six Day War . The plan called for the Israeli annexation of the narrow corridor of land along the west of the Jordan River up to the eastern slopes of the Samarian mountains in order to assure minimal strategical depth while relinquishing the rest of the West Bank to Arab Jordanian control. The next step was to establish residential and agricultural settlements as well as military outposts along this strip of land in order to assure a minimal buffer zone that would hold up in the event of a Jordanian attack until Israeli Army reserve units could mobilize to the area. Between 1967 and 1977, the Labour Israel Israeli Labour governments created 21 settlements, mostly agricultural cooperatives in this area. The effects of this plan can be easily seen from the fact that almost all the settlements on the Allon Road Eg Alon, Mateh Binyamin Alon , Rimonim , Gitit Israeli settlement Gitit are on the east side. The major exception to the rule is Ma ale Mikhmas . coord 32 2 0.24 N 35 20 55.87 E display title Category West Bank Category Judea and Samaria Area Category Roads in Israeli occupied territories Israel geo stub Israel transport stub cs Alonova silnice he ... more details

Yeshivat Birkat Moshe is a hesder yeshiva located in the Mitzpeh Nevo neighborhood of Ma ale Adumim in the West Bank . It was founded in 1977 by Rabbis Haim Sabato and Yitzchak Sheilat , then two young rabbis from Yeshivat HaKotel , in Jerusalem. For the first nine years since its inception it was situated in temporary structures the Maale Adumim s industrial zone Mishor Adummim , before moving to its current campus and location in Mitzpeh Nevo . Due to the founder rabbis young age at the time they refused the title rosh yeshiva , and so in 1983 they were joined by Rabbi Nahum Rabinovich , who has acted as the rosh yeshiva to this day. The Yeshiva is known for its style of learning, which emphasizes at one and the same time the precise and incisive analysis of written text, particularly the Talmud and the Rambam, as well as the quest for common sense understanding of the logic of the sages and its reflection in halacha. Rabbi Haim Sabato teaches the introductory class for first year students, in which he emphasizes the skill of precise and perceptive reading of text. More advanced students learn from Rabbi Rabinovitch to study the Rambam with care and precision. The yeshiva encourages advanced students undertake independent scholarly work, such as Rabbi Baruch Brener s edition of the commentary of the Malbim on Torah or Rabbi Yehuda Fris comprehensive guide to family law, which follows the halachic tradition up to and including current practice in Israel s rabbinical courts. The Yeshiva teaches all its students that a primary quality of a talmid chacham is to take personal responsibility, for his learning, for his lifestyle, and for decisions he must take on behalf of others. One must learn enough to acquire the ability to take decisions independently as well as to know when one must consult with those wiser and more knowledgeable than oneself . Taking responsibility, and not habituating oneself to psychological dependence on others, is one s duty before Heaven. Thi ... more details
