Nearer to the house is the original stone cistern and beyond that is the memorial to Ephraim Chisik. Today the sculpture is much weathered and eroded, but one can still make out three figures with farm implements in front of them. If you look very closely at the back of the statue, you can also see that the main figure, which represents Chisik, is holding a grenade. Near the statue is a sign indicating that the memorial site was restored thanks to the Chisik family of Canada. As far as the local JNF people know, they are not relations of the fallen hero.
