Description of the springs[edit]

The Northern Spring[edit]

The northern spring is located near the column transformer of a high-voltage line near the pumping station of the "Mekorot" company. The spring stems from a quarry hidden in a thicket of thorny raspberry shrubs, ivy and a number of fig trees that grow wild. In a survey conducted by the Society for the Protection of Nature instead of ^ the spring is not seen at all through the thicket.

The water from this spring was discharged into a large pool built to store the spring water. Beneath the pool is a long concrete [trough] that was formerly used for watering sheep.

Central Spring[edit]

The main spring in the Einot Telem group springs a short distance west of the Nahal Sorek channel. The water flows into a large storage pool (1125 cubic meters) shaped like a 15 by 15 meter square and 5 meters deep. ) | Infiltration]]. From the [eastern] wall of the pool, a short ditch leads to a small pool (about 18 cubic meters) that is 4 by 3 meters deep and about a meter and a half deep. The pool walls are made of well-dressed stones attached to cement.

In the past, the pool was deeper, but at the time of the survey, its floor was covered with rubbish and a puddle of vegetation. The surface of the water in the pool is covered with a "carpet" of thousands of details of the tiny plant tiny water lens (Lemna minor). A survey conducted in 1991 [[#ref_{{{1}}}|^]] found water in the pools as well as relatively clean water in the canal. A metal door is installed between the two pools to control the amount of water in the lower pool.

Southern Spring[edit]

This spring is also hidden by a tangle of plants including raspberries and ivy. The source of this spring flows into a closed pool and is covered with a cast concrete roof and steel strips. According to a 1991 survey this ceiling is in a state of disintegration. In the same survey, little water was seen in the pool. Adjacent to the spring, next to the north, is a small and abandoned building, this building is a pumps from the Mandate period.

Telma House[edit]

View of furrow springs on bridges Road 1 and Mount of Beatitudes] Near the furrow springs are the ruins of several houses, all in a state of disintegration. Adjacent to the northeast corner of the large storage pool is a relatively small two-story house and above the main spring, stands a larger two-story house that is clearly unfinished. In the 16th century there was a small village called the "Tulma House" in the 19th century the place was abandoned and destroyed ^ , the remains of the village buildings can be seen in the area of ​​the springs. The place, also called "Oyun Tulma", was known for its beauty and at the end of the 19th century it was a center of attraction for travelers, as noted by Yehoshua Yellin, one of the founders of the colony origin: "The place as a whole is excellent with its clean and pleasant atmosphere and its light and sweet waters. There are three large springs there, apart from small springs. Ishmaelites to sit there in tents, to enjoy the atmosphere and its waters ... When we first came to this place, we breathed the fresh air and smelled the smell of moving flowers and drank the light and fresh water, all of which will not be seen and found in Jerusalem and its surroundings. "

Instead, in Beit Tulma (on the furrow springs of today), the small Jewish colony was established, which was given the name "Beit Talma", a change or distortion of the place's Arabic name. The first chapter in the history of the colony began in 1906 when two of the founders of Rehovot, Aharon Eisenberg and the engineer Dov Klimker, purchased 230 dunams of Oyun Thulma lands as an agricultural-industrial initiative. The place was relatively far from any Jewish settlement, in an environment where personal security was in constant danger. Adjacent to the main spring, a cloth house and a soap factory were built, which utilized the oil waste of the cloth house. The establishment of the factories encountered financial difficulties, the initiative failed to take off and when the entrepreneurs' funds ran out, the work was stopped and in 1911 the factories were abandoned.

In 1923, Professor Haim Pick and Rabbi Yehuda Leib Fishman Maimon bought the Klimker land in Beit Telma. Eight Jewish families settled in the area, renovated the factory and left a cornerstone for an agricultural school for religious girls. The regenerated settlement was given the name "Cedar Valley", probably after the cypress large seas that grow in the creek channel and look similar to cedar trees.
