Description: An impressive monument on top of Mount Aminadav, in commemoration of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, murdered on November 22, 1963. The monument, designed by David Resnik and Dov Feigin, is shaped like a felled tree stump with 51 columns, representing the states. Walk around the monument to enjoy a circular view of the Jerusalem Mountains and the Hebron Mountains. A window in the scenery affords a view of the coastal plain in the region of Ashdod.
