There is noteworthy article in the Haaretz about the Israeli park dedicated to the eleven maskilim:

  1. Salomon Mandelkern (1846-1902)
  2. Chaim Zelig Slonimski (1810-1904)
  3. Israel Haim Tavyov (1858-1920)
  4. Isaac Erter (1791-1851)
  5. Eliezer Zvi Hacohen Zweifel (1815-1888)
  6. Yehuda Leib Ben-Zeev (1764-1811)
  7. Mordecai Aaron Guenzburg (1795-1846)
  8. Kalman Schulman (1819-1899)
  9. Solomon Rubin (1823-1910?)
  10. Abraham Baer Gottlober (1811-1899)
  11. Yitzhak Isaac Ben-Yaakov (1801-1863)

The link comes from Alan Brill who also started a nice discussion about James Kugel. Dr. Kugel must feel right at home in the park.
