Eli () is a large mixed communal Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located on Highway 60 north of Jerusalem and Ramallah, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. It was named after the biblical high-priest who served in the Tabernacle in nearby biblical Shiloh (1 Samuel 1:9). At the end of 2013 it had a population of 3,650.〔http://www.cbs.gov.il/ishuvim/ishuv2013/bycode.xls〕 The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this. Eli was established on 11 September 1984, when three families moved into recently placed buildings. It was the first settlement to be attempted without a core group of families. Several families from Ofra, Kokhav HaShahar, and Shilo were persuaded to come for at least a year while more families would be found. The settlement was originally called 'Givat Levona' after the adjacent settlement Ma'ale Levona. The Amana website states that the initial vision was creating 'one long territorial contiguity' of Jewish settlers between Eli and both Shiloh and Ma'ale Levona.〔 In recent years the town has evolved into the municipal center for the Shilo area settlement bloc. Eli is also home to the Bnei David pre-military Mechina academy. This yeshiva also offers post-army academic programs. ==Bnei David== Bnei David is the first pre-military modern orthodox Mechina academy (1988) and was founded by Rabbis Eli Sadan and Yig'al Levinstein. Many of the graduates have reached high rank in the IDF. It is an integral part of Eli as many of the rabbis, administrators, graduates and students live in Eli. There are currently over 500 students studying at Bnei David and over 2,500 graduates, over 40% of them became officers and the majority served in combatant or elite units. Shimon Peres have called it "Pride for the country".〔(פרס על המכינה הדתית בעלי: ”גאווה למדינה“ )〕 Graduates of Bnei David who died during their IDF service include Roi Klein, Emmanuel Moreno and Amihai Merhavia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eli, Mateh Binyamin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
