Two "Yads" in the Jerusalem Hills (NOT Yad Vashem)

October 19, 2024 • Leontine Cohen Pauka and Alan Harkavy • Season 3 • Episode 83

As the Sukkot holiday began this week in Israel, news broke about the elimination of October 7 mastermind, Yihya Sinwar. In this episode, we put Sinwar behind us and record from Mount Ora on the outskirts of Jerusalem talking about two off the beaten track memorials; Yad Kennedy and Yad Rubenstein. Yad means monument. Yad Kennedy is an impressive monument commemorating the 35th US president John F. Kennedy, and Yad Rubenstein is an elegant marble sculpture memorializing the great pianist Maestro Arthur Rubenstein.
