Ashdod Travelers guide

Along the sea shore 87 theatre was also the place where Ashdod was declared a city, on February 14th, 1968. 15 years later the place burned down, and unfortunately, nothing remained of it. At the intersection of Rogozin, Shavei Zion and Nordau streets, on a large rock, stands a monument to the city's residents who have fallen in Israel's wars. The statue, made from black metal and looking like a candle burning down, was built by Matilda Halperin, a bereaved mother. On the other side of the road stands Canada House , which serves as an absorption center for new immigrants. It is the first absorption center built in Ashdod. The interesting rectangular building was designed in the 1960s by architect Moshe Lofenfeld, who designed many other buildings in the country, including the "Beit Ariela" municipal library in Tel Aviv, the national sports stadium in Hadar Yosef, Tel Aviv, and the famous pyramid house in Be'er Sheva. Now continue straight on Max Nordau street, towards the beach, until you see Gan Elisheva on your left, named after the late wife of Israel's third prime minister, Levi Eshkol. Prime Minister Eshkol contributed a great deal to the development of the city during its first years.
