Sheikh Badr Cemetery (also Givat Ram cemetery)[2] is an 8 dunams (0.80 ha; 2.0 acres)[1] Jewish burial ground in west-central West Jerusalem. It was established as a temporary burial ground during the 1948 Arab siege of Jerusalem. Most of its military and civilian graves were transferred to Mount Herzl and Har HaMenuchot, respectively, in late 1950. The cemetery continued to accept burials up until the official opening of Har HaMenuchot in November 1951.
