On September 11th 2019, as the world commemorated Eighteen years since the 9/11 terror attacks in the United States, the Keren Kayemet LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF), Jewish National Fund-USA (JNF) and the US Embassy in Israel held their annual memorial ceremony to honor those who perished. On the eve of September 11th 2019, opening the 9\11 remembrance day, a ceremony of the lighting of the "Tribute in Light", for the first time in Israel, in commemoration of the victims of 9\11 took place. The ceremony included the lighting of 2 beams of light, shining up to 300 meters tall over Jerusalem, similar to the "Ground Zero" tribute in New York.
The 9/11 Living Memorial Monument is the only one outside of the United States to include all the names of the 9/11 victims, and reflects the shared values between Israel, the United States and the entire free world for peace and unity, and against terror.
