Gadot Lookout

Reviewed By Redleg93 - Maple Grove, United States

On a tour and it initially didn't look like much, but glad we stopped to learn the history of this point, as well as take in view towards the west. You can easily see the commanding position the military had overlooking the valley.

Ammunition Hill Memorial and Museum (Givat Ha-Tachmoshet)

This official memorial, symbolizing the liberation and reunification of Jerusalem, is in honor of those who died during the Six-Day War in 1967. The past 3 years the site was significantly upgraded and the last accord was the launching of a most impressive new Museum & a commemoration Hall.

For anyone interested in Israel’s history, this is highly suggested. It had a nice film with relief map that allowed you to follow the events talked about.

The Second Temple Jerusalem Model

Reviewed By joshuab627 - Westbury, United States

Very detailed and enlightening exhibit. The detail of the model was just outstanding and gave us great insight into the layout of the Second Temple and the adjoining community as it existed at the time. We particularly enjoyed viewing the dead sea scrolls exhibit which contains some incredible information concerning the bible and the scrolls. Fascinating to see the detail and relive history. The museum is user friendly and we were able to see all the exhibits at a calm pace. The entrance fee was very reasonable.

9/11 Memorial Monument

Reviewed By TsviShlomo - Ra'anana, Israel

Tucked away under the new high speed rail bridge on the approaches to Jerusalem is this beautifully designed memorial to the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the USA. Recently a small memorial was added for those Jews murdered while at prayer in the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pennsylvania. It is not straightforward to find the place: Google Maps gave incorrect directions but WAZE led the way correctly.

Victory Monument

Reviewed By EphraimG - Netanya, Israel

Victory Monument is located on a beautiful cliff above Mediterranean. All around the year fresh sea wind strokes your face The memorial consists of two elements which symbolize the transition from darkness to light reflecting the Russian military victory to stop the Holocaust of the Jewish people, followed by the establishment of the Jewish state in Israel. The memorial is designed as a maze, in which key tragic events in the history of the Jewish people during the Holocaust are depicted in reliefs. A representation of the Second World War is contained in black bunker. On the right describes the Holocaust, and on the left describes the war between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. At the end of the maze - the emergence into the light and open air, where white wings soar to the heavens as a symbol of victory, hope and peace, against the backdrop of Netanya's coastline.
