[2] Talpiot is an upscale neighborhood in southeast Jerusalem which is a major hub of commerce in Jerusalem as well as nightlife for the southern part of the city. The industrial zone in Talpiot is one of the largest in all of Israel. It is also known as the home for famed Israeli writer S.Y. Agnon.
