- Mount Herzl in Jerusalem - Israel's national cemetery
- Mount Herzl is a hilltop and national cemetery in Jerusalem, named for Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern political Zionism. Herzl's tomb lies at the top of the hill. This year Israel celebrates Memorial Day on May 7 and Independence Day on May 8.
Note: Those of you who will look closely on the pictures in this album will probably wonder why there are small stones on the graves. The answer is that it’s a Jewish tradition to place a small stone at the graveside when visiting Jewish graves of someone that the visitor may even never knew. This shows that someone visited the graveside, and represents permanence. Leaving flowers is not a traditional Jewish practice. Another reason for leaving stones is tending the grave. In Biblical times, gravestones were not used; graves were marked with mounds of stones, so by placing (or replacing) them, one perpetuated the existence of the site.
