The opening as it read in 2005

Talpiot , is a neighborhood in southeastern Jerusalem that was established in the 1930s by Zionist Jews . The neighborhood was evacuated following the 1929 acts of violence . Following the Israeli War of Independence , Talpiot became almost completely surrounded by Jordanian -controlled East Jerusalem for 19 years, but it remained settled under Israeli control. The neighborhood expanded significantly only after the 1967 Six-Day War , mainly over lands near and beyond the old separation line between Israel and Jordan, including lands formerly administrated by the UN. It also includes an important industrial area. The Nobel prize winner, Shmuel Yosef Agnon , lived in this neighberhood for most of his life. v t e1
