A plot of land in Sheikh Badar, a field located near today's Givat Ram, sandwiched in between the Supreme Court and the Knesset, was turned into a makeshift cemetery when the Sanhedria cemetery became inaccessible. The Perushim had to mount a major lobbying effort to receive a section of this lot. They used it from 19 Adar 1950 to Cheshvan 1951 while the large-scale Har Hamenuchos was being prepared as Jerusalem's main cemetery. When it was first planned, Har Hamenuchos was located far away on the outskirts of Jerusalem, although today it is not far from Givat Shaul and Har Nof.
