Yad Kennedy
Yad Kennedy (Hebrew: ), located in the Mateh Yehuda Region near Jerusalem, Israel, is a memorial to John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, who was assassinated in Dallas, Texas in 1963. The memorial is shaped like the stump of a felled tree, symbolizing a life cut short. Inside is a bronze relief of Kennedy, with an eternal flame burning in the center.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kennedy Memorial )〕 It is encircled by 51 concrete columns, one for each of the 50 states in the United States plus one for Washington, D.C., that nation's capital. The emblems of the states (and of the District of Columbia) are displayed on each of the columns,〔 and the columns are separated by slim panels of glass.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1966 newsreel describing the memorial )〕 The monument measures approximately in circumference around its base,〔 and there is space within the memorial for approximately 100 visitors at a time.〔 The monument was built in 1966 with funds donated by American Jewish communities.〔
Yad Kennedy and its adjoining picnic grounds are part of the John F. Kennedy Peace Forest.

The Hebrew word ''yad'', which is used for a number of memorials in Israel (including the well-known Holocaust memorial museum Yad Vashem), comes from the Book of Isaiah, chapter 56, verse 5: "And to them will I give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name (''yad vashem'')."
