The ruins of the ancient town of Eshtemoa are nearby.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
History
Beit Yatir was established in 1979 by students from the Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva. In 1983, the moshav was moved southwest from its original location south of the town of as-Samu to its current location in the Yatir Forest. A visual landmark of the moshav is a high wind turbine.
The social make-up of the moshav residents varies between sabras to immigrants from various countries, including France, Russia, Brazil, and English-speaking countries. The moshav does not require residents to become members of the cooperative.
Education
A Religious Pre-Army Mechina, with several dozen students enrolled, is headed by Rabbi Moshe Hagar.
