The Menachem Begin Heritage Center is the national commemoration project dedicated to Israel's sixth prime minister and operates by virtue of the "Begin Law" passed by the Knesset in 1998.

The Center is located on Jerusalem’s Hinnom ridge overlooking Mt. Zion and the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem and is open to the public. It regularly holds informational events highlighting research activities and educational programming in the spirit of the heritage of Menachem Begin, reflecting his specific vision of a secure, Jewish and democratic State of Israel, with respect for individual liberty, social justice, the rule of law and equality for all its citizens. In addition to the Research Institute, there is a reference library and Mr. Begin’s personal archives.

The IGF Program, with its emphasis on leadership, parliamentarism and strengthening the connection of young Jewish people to Israel, is a fitting testament to the legacy of Menachem Begin. (The Center’s website is available at www.begincenter.org.il.)
