Malha

Malha (Hebrew:מלחה) is a neighborhood in southwest Jerusalem, between Pat, Ramat Denya and Kiryat Hayovel in the Valley of Rephaim. Before 1948, Malha was a Palestinian Arab village known as al-Maliha (Arabic:المالحه). The official Hebrew name of the neighborhood is Manahat (Hebrew:מנחת) named for the biblical town of Manahath, but residents of Jerusalem continue to call it Malha.
