TheOld Testament canonvaries between Christian Churches;ProtestantsandLatter-Day Saintstook out seven books, dividing them into 39 books, while theCatholic,Eastern Orthodox, andOriental OrthodoxChurches choose the Old Testament version with 49 books.[3]The Old Testament consists of many distinct bookswritten, compiled, and edited by various authors[4]over a period of centuries. It is not entirely clear at what point the parameters of the Hebrew Bible, the basis for the Christian Old Testament, were fixed. Some scholars have opined that thecanon of the Hebrew Bible was establishedalready by about the 3rd century BC,[5][6]or even later.[7]The books of the Old Testament can be broadly divided into several sections: 1) the first five books orPentateuch (Torah); 2) the history books telling the history of theIsraelites, from theirconquest of Canaanto theirdefeat and exile in Babylon; 3) the poetic and \"Wisdom\" books dealing, in various forms, withquestions of good and evil in the world; 4) and thebooks of the biblical prophets, warning of the consequences of turning away from \"telling\"; plural:Haggadot) is aJewishtext that sets forth the order of thePassover Seder. Reading the Haggadah at the Seder table is a fulfillment of theScriptural commandmentto eachJewto \"tell your son\" of the Jewish liberation from slavery inEgyptas described in theBook of Exodusin theTorah(\"And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying: It is because of that which the LORDdid for me when I came forth out of Egypt.\"Ex. 13:8).SephardiandMizrahiJews also apply the termHaggadahto theservice itself, as it constitutes the act of \"telling your son.\"Bezalel Academy of Arts and DesignisIsrael\'snational school of art. Established in 1906 byJewishartist and sculptorBoris Schatz, Bezalel is the oldest institution of higher education in Israel. The art created by Bezalel\'s students and professors in the early 1900s is considered the stepping stone forIsraeli visual artsin the 20th century.The academy is currently located at theMount Scopuscampus of theHebrew University of Jerusalem- with the exception of theArchitecturefaculty, located at the historic Bezalel building in downtownJerusalem. In 2009 it was announced that the academy will be relocated to a new campus in theRussian Compound, as part of a wide municipal plan to revive Jerusalem\'s downtown. The new Bezalel campus is planned by Tokyo-based award winning architectural firmSANAA.Contents[hide]1 History2 Bezalel pavilion3 Bezalel style4 Today5 Notable alumni6 Notable faculty7 See also8 References9 Further reading10 External linksHistory[edit]Boris Schatzfounder of BezalelEliezer Ben-Yehuda professor of Hebrew at BezalelBoris Schatzoutside the Bezalel campus, Jerusalem, 1913Bezalel drawing class under direction ofAbel Pann, 1912The Bezalel School was founded in 1906 byBoris Schatzwho envisaged the creation of a national style of art blending classicalJewish/Middle EasternandEuropeantraditions. The school opened in rented premises on Ethiopia Street. It moved to a complex of buildings constructed in the 1880s by a wealthy Arab surrounded by a crenelated stone wall. In 1907, the property was purchased for Boris Schatz by theJewish National Fund. Schatz lived on the campus with his wife and children.[1]The first class consisted of thirty young art students from Europe who successfully passed the entrance exam.Eliezer Ben Yehudawas hired to teachHebrewto the students, who hailed from different countries and had no common language.[2]His wife,Hemda Ben-Yehuda, worked as Boris Schatz\'s secretary.[3]In addition to traditional sculpture and painting, the school ran workshops that produced decorative art objects in silver, leather, wood, brass and fabric. Many of the craftsmen were members of theYemenite Jewishcommunity, which has a long tradition of working in precious metals. Silver and goldsmithing had been traditional Jewish occupations in Yemen. Yemenite immigrants were also frequent subjects of Bezalel school artists.Many of the students went on to become well-known artists, among them Meir Gur Aryeh,Ze\'ev Raban, Shmuel Ben David,Ya\'ackov Ben-Dov,Zeev Ben-Zvi,Jacob Eisenberg,Jacob Pins,Jacob SteinhardtandHermann Struckstudied at Bezalel[4]In 1912, the school had one female student, Marousia (Miriam) Nissenholtz, who used the pseudonymChad Gadya.[5]The school closed in 1929 in the wake of economic difficulties. After Hitler\'s rise to power, Bezalel\'s board of directors askedJosef Budko, who had fled Germany in 1933, to reopen the school and serve as its director.[6]The New Bezalel School for Arts and Crafts opened in 1935, attracting many teachers and students fromGermany, many of them from theBauhausschool shut down by the Nazis.[7]Budko recruitedJakob SteinhardtandMordecai Ardonto teach at the school, and both succeeded him as directors.[8]In 1958, the first year that the prize was awarded to an organization, Bezalel won theIsrael Prizefor painting and sculpture.[9]In 1969, Bezalel became a state-supported institution. In 1975 it was recognized by theCouncil for Higher Education in Israelas an institute of higher education.[10]It completed its relocation toMount Scopusin 1990.
