The reconstruction and reopening of the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts, an institution which under the late Professor Boris Schatz, was instrumental in producing a number of well-known contemporary Jewish artists, is now to be proceeded with. It will be called the New Bezalel.
The Keren Kayemeth has handed the school the old building and the Government is contributing 1,500 pounds to repair the structure.
Prominent local British and Jewish personalities are taking part in the new school board. The new director is a German Jewish immigrant, the artist and graphic worker, Joseph Bodke, who arrived here a year ago.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
