The statue of the national poet Hayim Nahman Bialik, made by Yasha Shapira and placed in the square in 2006.
The statue marks the fact that Bialik moved to live in Ramat Gan in 1933, and joins other commemorative corners in the city: such as the Bialik Bench Click for sign's details

Near the statue, on a rock, the first verse from Bialik’s first poem, "To the Bird," is quoted:
שָׁלוֹם רָב שׁוּבֵךְ, צִפּוֹרָה נֶחְמֶדֶת,
מֵאַרְצוֹת הַחֹם אֶל-חַלּוֹנִי –
אֶל קוֹלֵךְ כִּי עָרֵב מַה-נַּפְשִׁי כָלָתָה,
בַּחֹרֶף בְּעָזְבֵךְ מְעוֹנִי.

[translation]
Welcome, O lovely bird,
From the hot lands to my window –
To your voice, which is so pleasant to me, my soul is consumed,
In winter when you leave my home.
