His other works in Israel include Jerusalem's Hyatt Regency Hotel, the Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center, Yad Kennedy (the John F. Kennedy Memorial outside of Jerusalem), and the Antiquities Museum in Hatzor (in Kibbutz Ayyelet ha-Shahar), and the Soldiers Home complex (Yad lebanim). The assignment to create Yad Kennedy was the result of a nationwide competition. A memorial to the life of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and his assassination in 1963, the high memorial is shaped like the trunk of a felled tree, symbolizing a life cut short.
