(live here) – A spectacular lion weighing 2 tons, made of steel and concrete, adorns the entrance to the Eagle Hanging Bridges Park.
The lion statue, which was placed about two weeks ago in the KKL-Junk Suspension Bridge Park in Nesher, is the work of the artist Sam Philip, an Israeli-international artist, whose works mainly deal with Jewish-Zionist issues, and was donated by the president of the American Society for Historical Preservation, Jerry Klinger .
the way of the lions
The meaning behind the statue is to mark the "way of the lions" on the Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel for the last three thousand years.
don't climb
The Nesher Municipality would like to thank the assistant mayor of Beit Shean, Shlomi Kinan, Yitzhak Buchris, the city's volunteer and the department for improving the appearance of the city, for the construction work and the placement of the impressive statue.
In addition, visitors are asked to be careful and take care of the statue and not to climb on the stone cube on which it is placed. In addition, it is noted that In the coming days, a designated place for photography will be established nearby.
What could be more appropriate to mark 3000 years of Jewish settlement than a statue of an animal that became extinct from an area 1000 years ago in a new city named after a British cement factory that was established on a Palestinian village... Pautics at its best!
Come on, do you really put it on the basis of half a meter height and tell people not to climb?
Every dad is going to swing his kid on this lion for a selfie.
Put it in a fiber at a height of 5-6 meters if you want them not to climb.
Wow, a great place to photograph a bride and groom near a mitzvah.
It's not a real lion
Inappropriate title, squeezing views!
Let's hope that the lion will stay there forever, in its beauty and splendor. No vandalism.
