Belief, Environmental sculpture in French Hill, Jerusalem, Israel

Belief, also called the White Sculpture, is a large environmental sculpture by the American-Jewish artist Alexander Liberman, erected in 1984. It stands at the end of a broad lawn near the French Hill junction, just before the French Hill bridge and the Dan Jerusalem Hotel, between Givat HaMivtar and French Hill, where Sderot Bar-Lev, Sderot Levi Eshkol and Derekh Shekhem meet. Built of concrete and metal, it joins several geometric elements so that its outline changes from every angle.

Alexander Liberman created the sculpture and installed it in 1984 at the French Hill junction, at the edge of a broad lawn near the Dan Jerusalem hotel, between Givat HaMivtar and French Hill. He gave it to the Jerusalem municipality as a gift, and the city maintains it and the surrounding park. The square where it stands is named after Richard Meinerzhagen.

The name Emouna (Faith) comes from the artist's intent: the joined geometric elements express the shared belief in God linking Jerusalem's religions and sectors. The sculpture marks the entrance to northern Jerusalem at the junction also called Bar-Lev, and the plaza around it is named for Richard Meinerzhagen.

The sculpture stands on the lawn beside the French Hill junction, at the meeting of Sderot Bar-Lev, Sderot Levi Eshkol and Derekh Shekhem, just before the French Hill bridge and the Dan Jerusalem hotel, between Givat HaMivtar and French Hill. The surrounding square is named for Richard Meinerzhagen.
