context_page_description: Talitha Kumi Evangelical Lutheran School, also known as Evgl. Luth.-Sekundar-Schule, is a German international school in Beit Jala, West Bank, Palestinian territories. The school, located in proximity to Bethlehem and 10 kilometres from Jerusalem, serves Kindergarten, and primary school through senior high school level. Students may obtain the Tawjihi and/or the Deutsche Internationale Abiturprüfung. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land operates the school. The name "Talitha Kumi" originates from Aramaic words which mean "Get up, girl!" or "Little girl, I tell you to get up," a phrase stated by Jesus Christ when he resurrected Jairus's daughter. As of 2015 Rolf Lindemann is the principal of Talitha Kumi.
  The Talitha Kumi Community College is a post-secondary community college for hotel management operated by Talitha Kumi.
context_section_description: Theodor Fliedner established a home for Arab girls in Jerusalem, then in the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, Ottoman Empire, in 1851. In 1858 there were 32 students, including Jews, Arabs, and Armenians. The school received the name "Talitha Kumi" in 1868, when it received a new building and had 89 students. The seminary and deaconess schools opened in 1905. World War I caused a temporary closure; there were 140 students and eleven deaconess teachers in 1914, right as the closure occurred. Up until 1918 the British authorities held the women in Egypt. The school's area became a part of the British Mandate of Palestine. The school reopened in 1926, one year after the British authorities gave the school back to the original owners.
  In 1949, operations in Jerusalem ended; this was because the original location was on the Israeli side the border after the Israeli Declaration of Independence. The post-Israel Talitha Kumi originally operated in Jordanian-controlled territory. The school opened in its current location in Beit Jala in 1961. At the time Beit Jala was a part of Jordan. Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day War. Beit Jala went to Palestinian control after 1993.
