The Yellin House was built in 1890 by Joshua Yellin, son of a family from Jerusalem's Old City. Yellin believed that the future of the Jewish community depended on its ability to support itself, and encouraged them to learn productive agriculture work. The house he built is one of the first signs of the sociological changes in the Jewish community of Jerusalem in the late 19th century.
The house stands in the heart of a large rural area, with orchards and ancient olive trees, a vineyard, and a patch of rare wild plums. Remains of a Byzantine era building discovered on the site were rebuilt during the Ottoman period as a travelers’ inn. Later, it became the old synagogue of Motza. After years of neglect, the house was renovated in 2006 by the Society for Preservation of Israel Heritage Sites, and opened to the public. 
At the visitors center you can experience the authentic lifestyle of the end of the 19th century, hear the exciting story of the Yellin family, and learn about the establishment of Motza. The Yellin house is located 5 minutes from Jerusalem, off Highway 1.

Samuel was one of the more striking personalities of the Bible, ruling the Jewish people as a prophet during the time of the Judges and serving as the kingmaker of both King Saul and Saul’s successor, King David. According to a biblical tale, Samuel’s mother, Hannah, was bereft of children for many years, and gave birth to her only son only after she pledged to enlist him in the service of God at the Tabernacle in Shiloh.
Known as Nebi Samuel, the site traditionally recognized as Samuel’s grave is situated atop a steep hill to the north of the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramot. The site contains an 18th-century mosque, built on the remains of a Crusader-era fortress; the tomb and a small synagogue are located in an underground chamber underneath the mosque. The Bible's Book of Samuel states that the prophet was buried in his hometown of Rama, to the east of the site. But the 12th-century Jewish traveler, Benjamin MiTudela, tells us that the Crusaders have re-entered Samuel’s remains at the top of the hill overlooking Jerusalem.
Due to its elevation and strategic importance, the Tomb of Samuel has played host to several battles in the modern era. Although excavations have not unearthed remains from Samuel’s time, both Jewish and Muslim prayers are held regularly at the site, with many religious Jews visiting on the anniversary of Samuel’s death, the 28th of Iyar, in the springtime.
