The opening as it read in 2010
Beit Safafa Beit Safafa ( , ) is an Arab neighborhood in southeastern Jerusalem midway between Patt and Gilo , on the outskirts of Bethlehem .1Beit Safafa had a population of 5,463 in 2000.2 It covers an area of 1,577 dunams . In 1596, Beit Safafa appeared in Ottoman tax registers as being in the Nahiya of Quds of the Liwa of Quds. It had a population of 41 Muslim households and paid taxes on wheat, barley, olives, grapes or fruit trees, and goats or beehives. In the wake of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War , the neighborhood was divided - with half in no man's land and the other half in the Jordanian-occupied West Bank . In 1967, after Israel 's victory in the Six-Day War , the two parts of Beit Safafa were reunited. The school, supported by the Israeli Ministry of Education and the Jerusalem Municipality, offers a bilingual curriculum in Hebrew and Arabic, with joint classes for Jewish and Arab children. A new school campus was inaugurated in October 2007. The student population in 2007-2008 was 410, half Jewish and half Arab.3
