Ein Rafa (Template:Lang-ar; Template:Lang-he) is an Israeli Arab village in central Israel. Located across Route 1 from Abu Ghosh, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 865.
History
Ein Rafa was founded in the 1940s when the Barhom family moved from the nearby village of Suba into the valley. It expanded after 1948 when several other families left Suba and settled there. In 2007 there was controversy when one home was demolished in the village. It is also the location of a co-existence project.
