Yad Levi Eshkol is a non-governmental organization working since 1970 to commemorate the life, actions and values of Levi Eshkol, third Prime Minister of the State of Israel (1963-1969), who was known for his democratic nature, arbitrator traits and his successful premiership which included laying the foundations for the American-Israeli alliance, annulment of the military rule over Israeli Arabs, and leading the nation through the Six-Day War. We work with groups throughout the country to promote the values of Prime Minister Eshkol: Israel as an independent Jewish and democratic state and a pillar of civil rights for its citizens. The historical Prime Minister's Residence in Jerusalem was renovated and dedicated in 2016 to commemorate Prime Minister Levi Eshkol. It is now a national heritage site and operates as a visitors' center open to the public.
