As usual I am researching and writing several books. My latest two are Jewish Quotations and Quotations About Authors and Writing. following up on these will be Quoations for Christians, Muslims, Humanists, Agnostics and atheists. And all religions and none.
Whilst researching the Jewish Quotations (Disraeli, Einstein, Anne Frank) I had plenty to keep me busy with American Jewish writers, American Jews - then finally I thought of looking at Jewish Nobel Prize winners.
Of course, that led me to Nobel prize winners' Sayings.

Then I found that the Jewish Nobel prize winners are honoured in a street in Israel. I thought, I can list those, later statues of Nobel prize winners, Jewish or otherwise.
The street is in Rishon LeZion, about five miles south of Tel Aviv. What I liked about Tel Aviv was the Bauhaus architecture, like art deco, as well as the sandy beach and several major museums, hotels at all prices including budget ones, a factory tour to a diamond factory, and old Jaffa.
But I missed out on Rishon LeZion.
I have been to Israel several times, staying in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and homes of friends and family. (I have also been to Jordan on a press trip, and to Morocco on my honeymoon and to Tunisia on package holidays.)
Next time I shall go to Rishon LeZion. In addition to the Nobel Prize winners' memorials, it has interesting landmarks.
More monuments, memorials and museums to see worldwide, in the USA, Theodore Roosevelt, and Moscow.
