Knesset Menorah, Bronze monument near the Parliament in Jerusalem, Israel
The Knesset Menorah stands 4.30 meters high and 3.5 meters wide, weighing 4 tons at the edge of Wohl Rose Park.
British Parliament members presented this bronze sculpture to Israel in 1956, marking eight years of independence and strengthening diplomatic relations between nations.
The monument contains 30 intricate reliefs distributed across seven branches, depicting significant events and personalities throughout Jewish history and theology.
Visitors find the Menorah at the Knesset grounds in Givat Ram, where it remains accessible for public viewing throughout the year.
Each branch of the Menorah tells different stories through detailed engravings, with the central stem focusing on biblical events leading to modern Israel.
