Tabachnik National Garden is a National Park located on the southern slopes of Mount Scopus in Jerusalem, next to the Hebrew University.[1] The garden preserves some Jewish burial caves from the Second Temple period and two small modern cemeteries, the American Colony Cemetery and the Bentwich Cemetery. Two lookouts are also located within the park, an eastward one facing the Dead Sea and the Judean Desert, and a westward one towards the Temple Mount.[2]
