דבר ההבטחה אשר הבטיח בפיו בפני שני עדים מגדולי תלמידיו... עשתה את מקום מנוחתו לתל תלפיות שהכל פונים אליו, בבקשם לאגור כוח ולהוסיף חיל לחלק האלוקי השוכן בנשמת כל יהודי, בכוחו של אותו צדיק.

The term comes from a Rabbinic Derashah in Mishnah Masekhet Berakhot 30 on Shir HaShirim 4:4. The term originally meant a stepped tower (Migdal Babui BeLifufim o BeMadregot). See Even Shoshan's Millon Hadash under Talpiyot and tbelow that (Tel) Talpiyot.

: Hardly trips off the tongue as a translation. Masekhet Brakhot & Even Shoshan give the English as 'a central important location'? LOL.

I suggest you look at Masekhet Berakhot 30 and Even Shoshan and the citations listed there.
