Arrabe kept the name of Ancient Jewish town that was ruined in
the revolt against the Romans, later to become a Christian
village in the Byzantine era.
According to local tradition, the village exists for 3000 years now
and it is called in Arabic Alla Rabiah (above a hill).
There is a small (2%) Christian minority in this Moslem village.
