History

Even Sapir was established in 1949 on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of 'Ayn Karim.[1]

The moshav was founded by Hebrew repatriants returning from Kurdistan. The name was either taken from Even Sapir, a book written in 1864 by Yaakov Halevi Sapir, a Jerusalem rabbi and emissary,[2] which describes his travels to Yemen in the 19th century,[3] or it was named after Pinchas Sapir, Israel's finance minister, who encouraged Jewish businessmen from the Diaspora to invest in Palestine and the nascent state.[4]

To the north of the moshav is the Monastery of St. John in the Wilderness and a cave attributed to John the Baptist.[5]

Even Sapir is one end point of the Jerusalem Trail, a 42-kilometer walking route around and through Jerusalem, which intersects with the Israel National Trail. The point of intersection is just outside Even Sapir at the Ein Hindak spring.[6]

Even Sapir is a home to "Ben Gurion Institute of Science & Technology", Jerusalem Campus, a housing estate designated for 430 local and international students.[7]
