Umm el-Umdan (Arabic for 'Mother of Pillars') or Khirbet Umm el-Umdan (khirbet = ruins of) is a Jewish archaeological site within the municipal boundaries of the Israeli city of Modi'in, between the city of Modi'in and Latrun. Archaeological excavations at the site discovered the remains of a Jewish village.
