JNF-KKL announced Monday that it plans to commemorate former prime minister Ariel Sharon by naming a 60 kilometer nature path after him. The road crosses the Sycamore Negev ranch where Sharon and his wife lived and are now buried.
The path will be named "Arik@@@s Path" to memorialize the former prime minister and military leader of the state of Israel.
According to Eli Aflalo, JNF-KKL co-chairman and close friend of Ariel Sharon: "Arik had a powerful connection to the earth. I remember visiting him at his offices in Jerusalem, and he said to me:@@@If only I had a window and a view to some trees, I would really feel I have fresh air.@@@"
"The only place Arik had the wilderness he loved so deeply was on his Sycamore ranch" added Aflalo.
