An establishment known simply as "the Lebanese restaurant" used to operate in the heart of Ein Karem, close to the main road. A year ago, the Jerusalem Municipality and the Health Ministry shuttered the restaurant, citing sanitation problems. The structure was demolished and a building permit was issued for a new restaurant.

As the birthplace of John the Baptist Ein Karem is important to Christian Arabs, including those of the West Bank Christians, who can no longer visit it of course. Fortunately it has retaines it's Arab village atmosphere so far. Please don't let it suffer the same fate as the village of Malha, which is now a supersized mall.
thank you
