Editing Tomáš Masaryk (section)

===Commemorations===
As the [[Father of the Nation|founding father]] of Czechoslovakia, Masaryk remains revered by Czechs and Slovaks.

[[Masaryk University]] in [[Brno]], founded in 1919 as Czechoslovakia's second university, was named after him when it was founded; after 30 years as Univerzita [[Jan Evangelista Purkyně|Jana Evangelisty Purkyně]] v Brně, it was renamed for Masaryk in 1990.

Commemorations of Masaryk have been held annually in the Lány cemetery on his birthday and day of death (7 March and 14 September) since 1989.

The Czechoslovak, now Czech [[Order of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk]], established in 1990, is an [[order (distinction)|honour]] awarded to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to humanity, democracy and human rights.

He is commemorated by a number of statues, busts, plaques, coins and postage stamps. Although most are in or of the Czech Republic and [[Slovakia]], Masaryk has a [[Statue of Tomas Masaryk (Washington, D.C.)|statue]] on [[Embassy Row]] in [[Washington, D.C.]], and in the [[Midway Plaisance]] park in [[Chicago]] and is memorialized in [[San Francisco]]'s Golden Gate Park [[rose garden]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.artandarchitecture-sf.com/thomas-garriue-masaryk.html|title = Thomas Garriue Masaryk – Public Art and Architecture from Around the World}}</ref> A plaque with a portrait of Masaryk is on the wall of a hotel in Rakhiv, [[Ukraine]], where he reportedly resided from 1917 to 1918, and a bust was erected in 2002 on Zakhysnykiv Ukrainy Square (former Druzhby Narodiv Square) in [[Uzhhorod]], Ukraine.

In Israel, Masaryk is considered an important figure and a national friend. A village was named after him - [[Kfar Masaryk|Kibbutz Kfar Masaryk]] near Haifa, which was largely founded by Jewish immigrants from Czechoslovakia. One of the main squares in [[Tel Aviv]] is [[Masaryk Square]] (he had visited the city in 1927). In [[Haifa]], one of the junctions in the city was named after him as well. Many cities in Israel named streets after his name, including [[Jerusalem]], [[Petach Tikva]], [[Netanya]], [[Nahariya]] and others.<ref>Martin Wein, A History of Czechs and Jews: A Slavic Jerusalem.
