Meir Kahane Park, Public park in Kiryat Arba, Israel.
Meir Kahane Park is a public recreational area in Kiryat Arba with paved pathways and open grounds. The site contains a memorial stone with inscriptions and is bordered by natural vegetation in the surrounding mountainous region.
The park was established in 1990 and commemorates a figure killed in New York that same year. The memorial later became the subject of legal restrictions imposed by the Israeli parliament regarding commemoration of certain individuals.
The site draws visitors during religious commemoration days when groups gather for collective remembrance. The space serves as a meeting point for community observances tied to the local calendar.
The entrance is accessible from Caleb Ben Yefuneh Boulevard, making it easy for visitors to reach the grounds. Security arrangements are in place on certain days due to the nature of gatherings that occur at the site.
The memorial stone prompted a notable legal response in 1998 from the country's parliament. This legislative action addressed controversial commemorations and their legal standing in the nation's governance.
