More about the place

Giv'a 851, also known as Har Gideon or Or HaOrot, is a peak on the Gidonim Ridge east of Itamar, named for its height in meters above sea level. On the hill stands a tomb traditionally attributed to the judge Gideon ben Yoash, a white building with a dome and arches. From the summit, you can look out over the Michmethath Valley below the ridge, Har Gerizim, Shechem, and the Beit Dajan Valley.
