Sculptures and Environmental Art

A grove of 200 olive trees planted on the outskirts of the kibbutz leads up to the Olive Columns, two 33-foot high pedestals topped by live olive trees, the work of Israeli artist Ran Morin.

In the hotel garden is a sculpture of the biblical matriarch Rachel, who personifies the nation. In the Book of Jeremiah, Rachel is depicted as a woman of large proportions, protecting two children and surveying the horizon as though waiting for others.
