The Passover Seder (Hebrew: סֵדֶר‎ order, arrangement\"; Yiddish: Seyder) is aJewish ritual feast that marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover.It is conducted on the evenings of the 14th day of Nisan in the Hebrewcalendar, and on the 15th by traditionally observant Jews living outsideIsrael. This corresponds to late March or April in the Gregorian calendar. TheSeder is a ritual performed by a community or by multiple generations of afamily, involving a retelling of the story of the liberation of the Israelitesfrom slavery in ancient Egypt. This story is in the Book of Exodus (Shemot)in the Hebrew Bible. The Seder itself is based on the Biblical verse commandingJews to retell the story of the Exodus from Egypt: \"You shall tell yourchild on that day, saying, \'It is because of what the LORD did for me when Icame out of Egypt.\'\" (Exodus 13:8) Traditionally, families and friendsgather in the evening to read the text of the Haggadah, an ancient work derivedfrom the Mishnah (Pesahim 10).The Haggadah contains the narrative of theIsraelite exodus from Egypt, special blessings and rituals, commentaries fromthe Talmud, and special Passover songs. Seder customs include drinking fourcups of wine, eating matza, partaking of symbolic foods placed on the PassoverSeder Plate, and reclining in celebration of freedom. The Seder is performed inmuch the same way by Jews all over the world. The Haggadah (Hebrew: הַגָּדָה‎,\"telling\", plural: Haggadot) is a Jewish text that sets forththe order of the Passover Seder. Reading the Haggadah at the Seder table is afulfillment of the Scriptural commandment to each Jew to \"tell yourson\" of the Jewish liberation from slavery in Egypt as described in theBook of Exodus in the Torah. (\"And thou shalt tell thy son in that day,saying: It is because of that which the LORD did for me when I came forth outof Egypt. \" Ex. 13:8) Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews also apply the term Haggadahto the service itself, as it constitutes the act of \"telling yourson.\" Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design is Israel\'s national schoolof art, founded in 1906 by Boris Schatz. It is named for the Biblical figure Bezalel,son of Uri (Hebrew: ), who was appointed by Moses to overseethe design and construction of the Tabernacle (Exodus 35:30). The BezalelSchool was founded in 1906 by Boris Schatz. Theodor Herzl and the early Zionistsbelieved in the creation of a national style of art blending classical Jewish/MiddleEastern and European traditions. The teachers of Bezalel developed adistinctive school of art, known as the Bezalel school, which portrayedBiblical and Zionist subjects in a style influenced by the European jugendstil(art nouveau) and traditional Persian and Syrian art. The artists blended \"variedstrands of surroundings, tradition and innovation,\" in paintings andcraft objects that invokes \"biblical themes, Islamic design andEuropean traditions,\" in their effort to \"carve out a distinctivestyle of Jewish art\" for the new nation they intended to build in theancient Jewish homeland. The Bezalel School produced decorative artobjects in a wide range of media: silver, leather, wood, brass and fabric.While the artists and designers were Western-trained, the craftsmen were oftenmembers of the Yemenite Jewish community, which has a long tradition of workingin precious metals. Silver and goldsmithing had been traditional Jewishoccupations in Yemen. Yemenite immigrants were also frequent subjects ofBezalel school artists. Leading artists of the school include Meir Gur Aryeh, Ze\'evRaban, Shmuel Ben David, Ya\'ackov Ben-Dov, Ze\'ev Ben-Tzvi, Jacob Eisenberg, JacobPins, Jacob Steinhardt, and Hermann Struck In 1912, the school had only onefemale student, Marousia (Miriam) Nissenholtz, who used the pseudonym ChadGadya.The school closed down in 1929 in the wake of economic difficulties, butreopened in 1935, attracting many teachers and students from Germany, many ofthem from the Bauhaus school shut down by the Nazis.The Western Wall, Wailing Wall or Kotel (Hebrew: הַכֹּתֶל הַמַּעֲרָבִי HaKotel HaMa\'aravi; Ashkenazic pronunciation: Kosel; Arabic: حائط البراق‎, Ḥā\'iṭ Al-Burāq, The Buraq Wall) is located in the Old City of Jerusalem at the foot of the western side of the Temple Mount. It is a remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the Jewish Temple\'s courtyard, and is arguably the most sacred site recognized by the Jewish faith outside of the Temple Mount itself. Just over half the wall, including its 17 courses located below street level, dates from the end of the Second Temple period, commonly believed to have been constructed around 19 BCE by Herod the Great, but recent excavations indicate that the works were not finished during Herod\'s lifetime. The remaining layers were added from the 7th century onwards. The Western Wall refers not only to the exposed section facing a large plaza in the Jewish Quarter, but also to the sections concealed behind structures running along the whole length of the Temple Mount, such as the Little Western Wall–a 25 ft (8 m) section in the Muslim Quarter. It has been a site for Jewish prayer and pilgrimage for centuries; the earliest source mentioning Jewish attachment to the site dates back to the 4th century. From the mid-19th century onwards, attempts to purchase rights to the wall and its immediate area were made by various Jews, but none was successful. With the rise of the Zionist movement in the early 20th century, the wall became a source of friction between the Jewish community and the Muslim religious leadership, who were worried that the wall was being used to further Jewish nationalistic claims to the Temple Mount and Jerusalem. Outbreaks of violence at the foot of the wall became commonplace and an international commission was convened in 1930 to determine the rights and claims of Muslims and Jews in connection with the wall. After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War the wall came under Jordanian control and Jews were barred from the site for 19 years until Israel captured the Old City in 1967 and three days later bulldozed the 800 year old Moroccan Quarter for easier access to the wall. The Blue Box For dozens of years, the Blue Box served as a fund raiser in every Diaspora home and every Jewish institution in Israel and abroad: A cherished, popular means to realize the Zionist vision of establishing a state for the Jewish people. Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (KKL) was established on December 29, 1901 (9 Tevet 5562) at the Fifth Zionist Congress in Basel. To raise funds for it, Haim Kleinman, a bank clerk from Nadvorna, Galicia, soon placed a box in his office and sent off a letter to Die Welt, the Zionist newspaper in Vienna, notifying it accordingly: \"In keeping with the saying, \'bit and bitty fill the kitty\' and following the Congress resolution on KKL\'s founding, I put together an \'Erez Israel box\', stuck the words \'National Fund\' on it and placed it in a prominent spot in my office. The results, given the extent of the experiment so far, have been astonishing. I suggest that like-minded people, and particularly all Zionist officials, collect contributions to KKL in this way.\" The Blue Box: More Than a Fundraising Device The funds raised through the Blue Box (the \"pushke,\" as it was widely known) were an instrument to redeeming the land in Eretz Israel on which the Jewish home was to arise. But the Blue Box was more than just a fundraising device. From the beginning, it was an important educational vehicle spreading the Zionist word and forging the bond between the Jewish People and their ancient homeland. The Blue Box has changed form many times over the years, and often wasn\'t even blue. It is a symbol. A symbol of KKL-JNF and its efforts to develop the land of Israel, plant forests, create parks, prepare soil for agriculture and settlement, carve out new roads and build water reservoirs – A symbol of connectedness with the land. For many people, KKL-JNF\'s Blue Box is inseparable from their childhood memories. Blue Boxes were placed in every classroom, into which every Friday small coins were dropped. For several decades the Blue Box raised funds for Environmental goals, though over time its status whittled away until it disappeared from the Israeli scene. The Blue Box was reinstated after the Second Lebanon War. Giant Blue Boxes designed by the finest Israeli artists were exhibited on Tel Aviv\'s Rothschild Boulevard where the public was invited to contribute to rehabilitating Israel\'s northern forests which had been destroyed in the war. Isrotel Hotels also took part in the effort with a large donation and awarded a tree planting certificate to every guest in each of its hotels. The blue charity collection boxes have been distributed by the JNF almost from its beginning. Once found in many Jewish homes, the boxes became one of the most familiar symbols of Zionism. A children\'s song about the boxes, written by Dr. Yehoshua Frizman, Headmaster of the Real Gymnasium for Girls in Kovno, ran The box was invented when a bank clerk named Haim Kleinman in Nadvorna, Galicia placed a blue box labeled \"Keren Le\'umit\" in his office, and suggested that similar boxes be distributed by the Fund. The first mass-produced boxes were distributed in 1904. Kleinman visited Mandate Palestine in the 1930s and planned to make aliyah, but perished in the Holocaust. Menahem Ussishkin wrote that \"The coin the child contributes or collects for the redemption of the land is not important in itself; it is not the child that gives to the Keren Kayemeth, but rather the Fund that gives to the child, a foothold and lofty ideal for all the days of his life.\"The boxes could take a variety of shapes and sizes. Some were paper made to fold flat like envelopes and able to contain only a small number of coins, some early American boxes were cylindrical, some German boxes were made of tin stamped into the shape of bound books. Israel issued postage stamps bearing the image of the blue box in 1983, 1991, and 1993 for the JNF\'s 90th anniversary. Jerusalem Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם Arabic: القُدس‎located on a plateau in the Judean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Israelis and Palestinians both claim Jerusalem as their capital, as Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there and the State of Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power; however, neither claim is widely recognized internationally.During its long history, Jerusalem has been destroyed twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times. The oldest part of the city was settled in the 4th millennium BCE. In 1538, walls were built around Jerusalem under Suleiman the Magnificent. Today those walls define the Old City, which has been traditionally divided into four quarters—known since the early 19th century as the Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Quarters. The Old City became a World Heritage site in 1981, and is on the List of World Heritage in Danger. Modern Jerusalem has grown far beyond its boundaries.According to the Biblical tradition, King David established the city as the capital of the united Kingdom of Israel and his son, King Solomon, commissioned the building of the First Temple. These foundational events, straddling the dawn of the Ist Millenium BCE, assumed central symbolic importance for the Jewish People. The sobriquet of holy city (עיר הקודש, transliterated ‘ir haqodesh) was probably attached to Jerusalem in post-exilic times. The holiness of Jerusalem in Christianity, conserved in the Septuagint which Christians adopted as their own authority, was reinforced by the New Testament account of Jesus\'s crucifixion there. In Sunni Islam Jerusalem is the third-holiest city, after Mecca and Medina.[ In Islamic tradition in 610 CE it became the first Qibla, the focal point for Muslim prayer (Salah), and Muhammad made his Night Journey there ten years later, ascending to heaven where he speaks to God, according to the Quran. As a result, despite having an area of only 0.9 square kilometres (0.35 sq mi), the Old City is home to many sites of seminal religious importance, among them the Temple Mount and its Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque.Today, the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, West Jerusalem was among the areas captured and later annexed by Israel while East Jerusalem, including the Old City, was captured and later annexed by Jordan. Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day War and subsequently annexed it. Currently, Israel\'s Basic Law refers to Jerusalem as the country\'s \"undivided capital\". The international community has rejected the latter annexation as illegal and treats East Jerusalem as Palestinian territory occupied by Israe The international community does not recognize Jerusalem as Israel\'s capital, and the city hosts no foreign embassies.According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, 208,000 Palestinians live in East Jerusalem, which is sought by the Palestinian Authority as the capital of Palestine.All branches of the Israeli government are located in Jerusalem, including the Knesset (Israel\'s parliament), the residences of the Prime Minister and President, and the Supreme Court. Jerusalem is home to the Hebrew University and to the Israel Museum with its Shrine of the Book.
