Pray for the Peace of Jeruslam, Limestone sculpture at Knesset building, Israel
The Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem sculpture spans 24 meters in width and reaches 7 meters in height on the southern wall of the Knesset assembly hall.
Israeli artist Dani Karavan received the commission from Knesset interior architect Dora Gad in 1964 and completed the installation in 1966.
The limestone sculpture carries text in Hebrew script, reflecting the deep connection between language, art, and national identity in Israeli parliamentary grounds.
Visitors can view this monumental artwork during regular Knesset tours, which require advance registration and security clearance.
The material for this sculpture originates from the Deir al-Asad quarry in Galilee, connecting the artwork to the physical landscape of Israel.
