Israel Museum

replica of the second Temple

My Jewish History class with the art sculpture saying אהבה/ LOVE



Today we went on a field trip to the Israel Museum. The Israel museum is known for their mini but big replica of the second temple, the art sculpture saying אהבה/ LOVE, and the Dead Sea scrolls.  In Jewish History class we are learning about the destruction of the first temple and the rebuilding of the second temple. It was really interesting to see a replica of what they think the second temple looked like. Next my class went over to the אהבה sculpture. I was really excited to see this in person because I have been to the one in NYC so it is so cool to see this landmark throughout the world! Next we went inside to see the Dead Sea scrolls. The Dead Sea scrolls are the oldest copy of the Tanakh that we have, it provides evidence of what life was like back then and it dates back 2000 years! This field trip was just half day so we were back at Tzuba for lunch and general studies.
