Dear
Visitors:
Excitement is in the air at the Israel Museum, as we near completion of our major campus renewal project and look forward to our public opening in July 2010. Designed jointly by James Carpenter Design Associates and Efrat-Kowalsky Architects, our renewed campus features new public spaces, facilities, and services; expanded and reorganized exhibition galleries; and a comprehensive reinstallation and reorganization of our encyclopedic holdings in our three collection wings.
As the project enters into its final phase and our permanent galleries remain closed, we invite you to participate in our continuing programs in the Shrine of the Book, Model of Second Temple Period Jerusalem, and Ruth Youth Wing, and to enjoy the beauty of the Billy Rose Art Garden. We wish you a pleasurable visit, and we urge you to return this summer to experience the new and renewed beauty of our completed campus and our full program of exhibitions and activities.

Special Exhibit
Piecing Together the Past - Ancient Fragments of the Song of the Sea
The Bible, the cornerstone of the People of the Book, was copied by scribes, interpreted by sages, and studied by generations of Jews from all walks of life. The nation’s respect for the Book of Books was also demonstrated by its desire to keep the manuscripts physically intact. This was not always possible, however, due to the hardships they experienced. Very few Hebrew manuscripts of the Bible have come down to us from the "Silent Period" – between the 2nd century, when the last of the Dead Sea Scrolls were written, and the 10th century, when the Aleppo Codex was produced. The discovery of a biblical manuscript, particularly one that served in synagogue services during the "Silent Period," is therefore a rare occasion. Two such fragments of the book of Exodus, originating in the same Torah scroll written during the 7th or 8th century – the Ashkar-Gilson Manuscript and the London Manuscript – found their way, many years later, into different collections. Here they are displayed together for the first time, alongside a fragment of the book of Exodus from the late 1st century BCE, discovered in Qumran, and another fragment of Exodus dating to the 10th or 11th century CE. Featuring excerpts of Exodus 15:1–19, these scrolls are among the earliest testimony to the Song of the Sea. The London Manuscript and the medieval fragment are on loan from Stephan Loewentheil, New York; the Ashkar-Gilson Manuscript is on permanent loan from Duke University, Durham, North Carolina.

Jerusalem Model |
Model of Jerusalem in the
Second Temple Period
This 50:1 scale model, covering nearly one
acre, evokes ancient Jerusalem at its peak,
meticulously recreating its topography and
architectural character in 66 CE, the year in
which the Great Revolt against the Romans
broke out, leading to the destruction of the
Temple and the city in the year 70. The model,
a Jerusalem cultural landmark, was originally
built at the initiative of Holyland Hotel owner
Hans Kroch in memory of his son Jacob, who
fell in Israel's War of Independence, and it
opened on the grounds of the hotel in 1966. In 2006 it was transferred
to the Israel Museum campus, and here it offers a concrete illustration of
the period documented in the Dead Sea Scrolls, when Rabbinic Judaism
took shape and Christianity was born, and makes a striking visual
connection to the Shrine of the Book and the symbols of modern Israeli
statehood that surround it.

The Shrine of the Book - Upper Level
The Shrine of the Book is home to the Dead
Sea Scrolls, archaeological artifacts from
Qumran, and rare medieval manuscripts of the
Hebrew Bible. This internationally renowned
building was designed by Frederick Kiesler and
Armand Bartos, who succeeded in integrating
its architectural symbolism and the unique
objects it houses to create a sense of the
sublime. The upper level of the Shrine contains
a permanent exhibition about the daily life of
the Judean Desert sect and the ideology that
led its members to view themselves as a human
sanctuary. At the center of this display are the
Dead Sea Scrolls: sectarian texts that present
this ideology, together with the oldest biblical
manuscripts in existence.

A Wandering Bible: The Aleppo Codex
The amazing story of a codex that was created

Egypt and then to Syria in the Middle Ages, and
returned to Israel in the 1950s. This ancient
book, the most authoritative manuscript of the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible, is displayed
together with other rare biblical manuscripts
and related Jewish and Islamic objects.

Looking In, Looking Out: The Window in Art
From May 7
The window has featured as a motif in art for thousands of years, both in eastern and in western culture. It continues to be present in contemporary art, where it has become imbued with new meanings. The window serves as a lookout for the artist; sometimes it is a metaphor for an entire world, sometimes for a partial, fragmentary view of it. Through it, we get a glimpse of the artist's soul, or of the lives of other people, invading their space, and in so doing perhaps escaping real life for a while. The window functions as a barrier between inside and out – a transition point between the artist and reality, between the viewer and the artwork. Running as a leitmotif in the exhibition, the window leads the visitor on a journey through the artists' gaze onto the world, their surroundings, and their own inner reality. The exhibition opens a window onto the Museum's extensive collections, as well as presenting works on loan created by artists in Israel and abroad.

Women’s Tales: Four Leading Israeli Jewelers
The jewelry artists featured in this exhibition – Bianca Eshel-Gershuni, Vered Kaminski, Esther Knobel, and Deganit Stern Schocken – have chosen jewelry as an appropriate medium for personal comment. Although all sought inspiration in their local surroundings as well as in their personal life, these four artists have developed very distinctive styles. While Eshel-Gershuni and Knobel use figurative imagery to relay their personal experiences and memories, the works of Kaminski and Stern Schocken are more abstract in form and focus on the process. Following singular journeys of self-discovery, these four women artists have made major contributions to the field of avant-garde jewelry making in Israel. This exhibition – now presented in Israel after traveling to several venues across the United States from 2006 to 2008– is a joint project of The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, and the Racine Art Museum (RAM) in Wisconsin.
