Kfar Tapuach (Hebrew: כְּפַר תַּפּוּחַ, lit., Apple-village) is an Orthodox Jewish Israeli settlement in the West Bank, founded in 1978.
The executive director of the village council is Yisrael Blunder, and the chief rabbi is Shimon Rosenzwieg.
[2] According to ARIJ, Kfar Tapuach was established in 1978 on land which Israel had confiscated from the Palestinian town of Yasuf.
[citation needed] Founded by a core of Habbani Yemenite Jews from the moshav of Bareket, it has since absorbed Jewish immigrants from Russia and the United States, a large group of Peruvian converts to Judaism from Trujillo, Peru, and others.
[4] The settlement includes four synagogues, two mikvaot (ritual baths) for women and men, a nursery school, and three kindergartens.
