Mahal memorial, War memorial cenotaph in Mateh Yehuda Regional Council, Israel

The Mahal Memorial stands about half a kilometre south of the Sha'ar Hagai interchange on the Jerusalem–Tel Aviv highway, at the edge of the Judean Mountains. A circular gravel plaza in a grove holds a concrete sculpture painted white and grey, formed of the Hebrew letters mem, het and lamed set in a semicircle, with a memorial flame base. A stone wall behind it bears the names of 121 fallen volunteers grouped by country of origin.

The memorial was designed by landscape architect Yoram Shaham and inaugurated in 1993, next to the route of the Burma Road, the emergency supply road to Jerusalem in 1948. In 2008, for Israel's 60th anniversary, it was restored and expanded under the planning of Reuven Gimbasho. It is one of two monuments to overseas volunteers; the other stands near Ammunition Hill in Jerusalem.

The memorial draws families, veterans, and officials for annual ceremonies honoring those who died serving Israel. These gatherings bring together people from many nations who share a connection to this shared story.

The memorial stands about half a kilometre south of the Sha'ar Hagai interchange on the Jerusalem–Tel Aviv highway, beside the point where the Burma Road route crosses the Sha'ar Hagai–Beit Shemesh road. It lies within Isaac Rabin Park, next to a picnic area, and three flagpoles stand beside the compound. The circular gravel plaza, concrete benches and stone panels are reached on foot from the parking area.

The concrete sculpture in the plaza is shaped from the Hebrew letters mem, chet and lamed, spelling the acronym Mahal. The memorial wall lists the 121 fallen volunteers grouped by their countries of origin, and the site also carries a 1976 quote from Yitzhak Rabin: "They came when we needed them most."
