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.
