There is an open air (free) sculpture garden on the north side of the old city. There are only a few sculpures though and I took a picture of about half of them.The first image shows a sculpture honoring vowels (the black dots are vowels).
The traditional (masoritic) vowelization of the hebrew bible (the written copies were done without vowels) was established mostly by the ben Asher family between the 5th and 11th centuries (it was mostly complete by the 8th century) of our era.
The second image is Ann and M on the side of a sea shell with water pouring out of it.
The third image with Beth and Ann is called "Court of the Jews".
I think it is supposed to be a fanciful view of a day at the Sanhedrin. It has a lot of flowers and other plants in it and these might be symbols of the 70 judges.
