The National Memorial Hall for Israel's Fallen (Hebrew: היכל הזיכרון הממלכתי לחללי מערכות ישראל) is a national memorial for all soldiers who gave their lives establishing and defending the State of Israel. The memorial was commissioned by the Israeli Ministry of Defense to provide a central place of pilgrimage for all bereaved families to commemorate their lost loved ones. Daily memorial services are held to honor the anniversary of each soldier's death.[1]
The hall was designed to preserve the memory of all fallen soldiers while providing visitors with both a personal and collective experience of commemoration. The hall's central atrium consists of an undulating funnel designed to symbolize a torch and an eternal flame.[3] Approximately 23,000 bricks wrap around the hall's spiral staircase, forming a 250-meter-long "wall of names." Each brick is "individually engraved with the name of a fallen soldier, the date the soldier was killed and a candle to be lit on the anniversary of the soldier’s death."[4]
The exterior of the hall echoes the topography of the surrounding mountain landscape.[5]
