Motza Illit (Hebrew: מוֹצָא עִלִּית, מוצא עילית, lit. Upper Motza) is a rural community on the outskirts of Jerusalem, Israel. It falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 785.
History
In 1929, Motza was attacked by its Arab neighbors and many residents were murdered. Four years later, a new moshav, Motza Ilit, was established at a higher location on the same hill.[1] In January 1934, a housewarming was held by twenty Jewish families who had built homes in Motza Illit with the aid of the Vaad Leumi and emergency funds.[2]
