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.
[2] 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."
