Rabin memorial - Rabin Square

Rabin Memorial is a peace memorial in central Tel Aviv made up of sixteen basalt stones set into the ground at varying depths across Rabin Square. The stones, sourced from the Golan Heights, create a contemplative setting that occupies the entire public space.

The memorial was dedicated in 1996 to honor Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, assassinated here on November 4, 1995. His death marked a turning point in Israeli politics and deeply affected the peace movement.

Visitors come here to remember Rabin's legacy and reflect on peace. The space is used for gatherings and remembrance, making it a place where people express their hopes for reconciliation.

The memorial sits at Rabin Square in central Tel Aviv and is easy to reach by public transport. The plaza is open and exposed, so bring sun protection and comfortable walking shoes when you visit.

All sixteen basalt stones were quarried from a single mountain in the Golan Heights, giving the memorial a symbolic meaning of unity. This choice of material emphasizes the idea of shared connection and common destiny.
