Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design is Israel's national school of art, founded in 1906 by Boris Schatz. It is named for the Biblical figure Bezalel, son of Uri (Hebrew:
בְּצַלְאֵל בֶּן־אוּרִי
), who was appointed by Moses to oversee the design and construction of the Tabernacle (Exodus 35:30). The Bezalel School was founded in 1906 by Boris Schatz. Theodor Herzl and the early Zionists believed in the creation of a national style of art blending classical Jewish/Middle Eastern and European traditions. The teachers of Bezalel developed a distinctive school of art, known as the Bezalel school, which portrayed Biblical and Zionist subjects in a style influenced by the European jugendstil (art nouveau) and traditional Persian and Syrian art. The artists blended
"varied strands of surroundings, tradition and innovation,"
in paintings and craft objects that invokes
"biblical themes, Islamic design and European traditions,"
in their effort to
"carve out a distinctive style of Jewish art"
for the new nation they intended to build in the ancient Jewish homeland.
The Bezalel School produced decorative art objects in a wide range of media: silver, leather, wood, brass and fabric. While the artists and designers were Western-trained, the craftsmen were often members of the Yemenite Jewish community, 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. Leading artists of the school include Meir Gur Aryeh, Ze'ev Raban, Shmuel Ben David, Ya'ackov Ben-Dov, Ze'ev Ben-Tzvi, Jacob Eisenberg, Jacob Pins, Jacob Steinhardt, and Hermann Struck In 1912, the school had only one female student, Marousia (Miriam) Nissenholtz, who used the pseudonym Chad Gadya.The school closed down in 1929 in the wake of economic difficulties, but reopened in 1935, attracting many teachers and students from Germany, many of them from the Bauhaus school shut down by the Nazis. Jacob Steinhardt was a painter and woodcut artist. He was born in Zerkow (engl. Tserkov, pl. Żerków) in Posen, a former Province of Prussia. During the World War I he was a soldier in Poland and Lithuania. In Eastern Europe he came in contact with the Eastern Jewish religion and culture which deeply impressed him. It took great influence on his life and work. After his immigration to Palestine in 1933, he opened an art school in Jerusalem. He was Chairman of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design and also the Director of that school from 1953 till 1957.  In 1966, Steinhardt became an honorary citizen of Israel. A year later, he painted his last self-portrait. He died on the 11th of February in 1968 at Nahariya.  One of Steinhardts disciples was the artist Jacob Pins (January 17, 1917 Höxter). Der Künstler Jakob Steinhardt wurde 1887 in Zerkow, einer Kleinstadt in der damals preußischen Provinz Posen, geboren. Seine Eltern schickten ihn auf ein Gymnasium in Berlin, wo Steinhardt bei Verwandten unterkam. Während seiner Schullaufbahn verlor der Künstler mit 13 Jahren seinen Vater.  Nach Abschluss der Gymnasialzeit (1906) kehrte Jakob Steinhardt in seine Heimatstadt zurück und erhielt durch Vermittlung des Direktors des Posener Museums ein Stipendium, mit Hilfe dessen er acht Jahre bis zum Beginn des 1. Weltkrieges studieren konnte. Bis 1914 reiste Jakob Steinhardt durch Europa und erweiterte seine Kunstkenntnisse, lernte auch neue Künstler kennen und gründete die Gruppe "Die Pathetiker". In den Kriegsjahren kam er als Soldat in Polen und Litauen mit der (ost-)jüdischen Religion und Kultur in Berührung, die tiefen Eindruck auf ihn machte und großen Einfluss auf sein weiteres Leben haben sollte.  1917, zum Ende des 1. Weltkrieges, erfolgte eine Ausstellung in der Berliner Secession seiner Kriegszeichnungen, die ein großer Erfolg wurde. Später entdeckt der Künstler die Technik des Holzschnitts, den er als wichtiges künstlerisches Ausdrucksmittel beibehielt.  1922 heiratete Steinhardt Minni Gumpert, worauf ein Jahr später die Tochter Josefa zur Welt kam. Jakob Steinhardt lebte weiterhin in Berlin, malte Stadtansichten, daneben entstanden auch noch graphische Mappenwerke und Buchillustrationen.  Jacob Steinhardt mit Tocher Josepha und ihren Freunden, ca. 1942 1925 reiste Steinhardts nach Palästina, wohin er 1933 mit seiner Familie flüchten musste. Im Laufe des 2. Weltkrieges gab der Künstler seine Radiertechnik auf und widmete sich dem Holzschnitt. 1949 wurde er Leiter der Graphischen Klasse der Bezalel Kunstschule, die er von 1953-1957 auch führte. Ab 1955 wurde Steinhardt durch seine Ausstellungen weltweit bekannt und bekam zahlreiche Preise.  1966 wurde Steinhardt israelischer Ehrenbürger. Ein Jahr darauf malte er sein letztes Selbstportrait und starb am 11. Februar 1968 in Nahariya.  Zu den Schülern von Jakob Steinhardt gehört Jacob Pins (17. Januar 1917 Höxter).

When World War I broke out, he enlisted in the German army, and served on the Eastern Front in Poland and Lithuania, and then in Macedonia. After the war, he returned to Berlin, and in 1922 married Minni Gumpert.
