Boris Schatz was working on opening an art institute in Bulgaria when he met Herzl and became a devoted Zionist. In 1906 he established the first Hebrew school for art, Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts, that still exists in the heart of Jerusalem.

Stroll along Bezalel St to the Jerusalem Artists’ House, which housed the first Hebrew museum and where the students of the school spent their time, and visit the private home of Schatz, that is generally closed to the public. Learn about BorisSchatz and his children, Bezalel and Zahara, who were also sculptors and artists. Enjoy a special meeting with Jimmy Lewensohn, one of the descendents of Boris Schatz.

Meeting point: entrance to the Jerusalem Artists’ House (12 Shmu’el Ha-Nagid St)
