    Tel Aviv's first Jewish cemetery, established in 1902 and located in the heart of the city, Trumpeldor Cemetery is the final resting place of many Israelis who played a part in Israel's history and cultural development: from Zionist leaders Ahad Ha'am, Haim Arlosoroff and Max Nordau, to early Hebrew poets Hayyim Nachman Bialik and Shaul Tchernichovsky; from Meir Dizengoff, the first mayor of Tel Aviv, and Moshe Sharett, Israel's first foreign minister and second prime minister, to artists Nahum Gutman and Reuven Rubin, world-renowned humorist and playwright Ephraim Kishon, and singers Shoshana Damari and Arik Einstein, who died in November 2013.
