The art of filigree comes alive in Israel
A traditional Yemenite silversmith shows the secrets of his trade (hint: it's all about silver wires).
Ben-Zion David, a traditional Jewish silversmith of Yemenite descent, is one of Israel's best-known filigree jewelers. His pieces are on display at museums in Israel, Europe and North America.
As he shows here, silver Yemenite jewelry is made out of wires and fashioned using very simple tools. David learned this intricate craft from his father and grandfather.
Today, only a handful of Yemenite silversmiths remain in Israel, twisting together threads of silver with a rich Yemenite heritage.
You can see many of the works in the museum David runs in Old Jaffa to preserve the art of Yemenite filigree and to inspire a new generation.

Hedva Amrani, Yemenite-Jewish entertainer reveals Arab-Israeli history, culture, politics, music
Hedva appears at the 2010 Israel Film Festival premiere in L.A. She explains how Israelis from Arab countries regard their Arab culture while Arabs still discriminate against Jewish & Israeli culture. Jews were considered patriotic nationals of every Arab country. After the League of Nations' ratified Israel as a Jewish sovereign, one after another Arab-Muslim state expelled all of its citizens of Jewish faith - totaling nearly 1 million. Today, 62-years later, the Arab countries continue to refuse to absorb Palestinian refugees (exploiting them as a political device to press Israel into detrimental concessions towards an eventual resumption of Muslim conquest of Israel) and as a distraction from inferior Arab political leadership. Ms. Amrani discusses her perspectives on Arab perpetual rejection of Israel (who extends the olive branch in good faith), and wrong-placed, international pressure on Israel to make concessions to her self-professed enemies. She will perform a live concert of popular and Israeli music (including her classic song for peace between Muslims and Jews- B' Lev Echad (With One Heart) in L.A. on December 14th. See

SHALOM of SAFED – The Innocent Eye of a Man of Galilee
SHALOM of SAFED – The Innocent Eye of a Man of Galilee
Winner of The US “Golden Eagle” award for extraordinary documentaries.
“A film of great sensitivity and beauty – an art film classic.”
W. Hance, director film dept. MOMA, NY
Best Film on Art and of Jewish Interest In 1968”
Recipient of the Annual Award of the National Council on Jewish Audio-Visual Materials.
A 28-minute, 16mm film in color that was broadcast on ABC TV and on Israeli TV , by Daniel Doron and Arnold Eagle exploring the Biblical paintings of the late Shalom of Safed, the Hassid artist , native of the Galilean town, the birthplace of Jewish mysticism — the' Cabbalah:
The film comprises animated sequences of Shalom's Biblical paintings, as well as of the artist at work, and of the sources of his inspiration in the landscape of Safed, its old synagogues, its landmarks and its atmosphere.
Shalom's art is a uniquely Jewish expression not merely because it was painted by an orthodox Jew, and depicts sacred themes, but mainly because its style expresses a distinct Jewish sensibility. His work differs from all forms of representation, just as Genesis differs from all other creation myths.
By comparing Shalom's work with the 3rd century Dura Synagogue־ murals, the 6th century Beth Alpha synagogue mosaic, and with medieval Jewish illuminations of the Bible (all of which Shalom has never seen) the film demonstrates that throughout the ages observant Jewish artists evolved a distinct Jewish style, a style which visually reflected the basic beliefs and attitudes of Judaism.
Contrary to prevalent notions this style did not prohibit all forms of representation, but only graven images which put the artist in competition with God by imitating his handiwork, and idolizing man and his work.
The Innocent Eye of a Man of Galilee preserves on film the rich treasures of Shalom's work, and explains the religious and cultural heritage that lends it such distinction.
Excellent paintings, manage to do what is close to the impossible, express traditional religious belief in a contemporary way.”
The New York Times
“A new star was born in the world of native art. Shalom of Safed has appeared almost simultaneously in the skies of Europe and America, and has taken his place among the brightest lights of folk art.
—Raymond Cogniat in Graphis, Zurich.
Shalom’s extraordinary work has been exhibited in top museums in New York, Washington, Chicago, Philadelphia Detroit, Jerusalem, London, Zurich, Bonn, Amsterdam, Brussels and Stockholm and is included in top collections.

FEATURE FILM TRAILER Changing My Mind About Palestine Trailer
An American woman takes a road trip through the West Bank that challenges her internalized stereotypes and perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By chance she meets Riayd Al-Ali, nephew of Naji Al-Ali, assassinated political cartoonist and Handala author, in a Ramallah cafe. The window into his life in Ramallah, and family history of dispossession, begins to erode her Christian Zionist narrative of the Holy Land. As Riayd reveals his family story, American news coverage and events as seen through her camera lens are juxtaposed. The result is two stories that are chronologically parallel but completely different.

The secret Banksys of Israel- Street art in Tel Aviv
Site Specific- Street art & graffiti tour
Tel Aviv is becoming one of the most culturally rich cities in the Middle East. Join us on this magical tour through the side streets and alleys of the urban scenery around Nachalat Binyamin Street and Levinsky Market. We will show you the best works of the street art and graffiti that color the walls of our public lives. We will go through the arts & crafts market, enjoy the lovely atmosphere and amazing street performances. The tour will cover the history, philosophy, styles and different meanings of the art constantly changing around us.
Graffiti and street art can be found in almost every street in Tel Aviv, However it is most common in southern Tel Aviv, and the Florentin neighborhood in particular. Elifelet St, HaMehoga St, Abarbanel, 3361 Street & Hanagarim St, are hotspots for Tel Aviv street art.
While graffiti is illegal in Israel, the municipality of Tel Aviv turns a blind eye to works of graffiti work in certain areas, with the Florentin neighborhood being notable among them. A big part of the graffiti in this area is painted on the doors and gates of various businesses thus we recommend to walk around and explore during the afternoon, when most businesses are closed and the artwork is more easily spotted.
While most graffiti artists remain anonymous, you can very often recognize their work by their signature or by the theme of the artwork. The area we are about to explore is filled with graffiti work by known artists such as “Sened”, “Dede”, “know hope” and more, each have an artistic style that is unique to them.
Our ‘do it yourself street art tour of Tel Aviv’ will help you spot out main art pieces in south Tel Aviv. You can follow the map to find some of the most known pieces, and use the information provided to recognize specific artists and find more of their pieces throughout Tel Aviv.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
This article presents a list of notable historical references to the name Palestine as a place name in the Middle East throughout the history of the region, including its cognates such as Filastin and Palaestina.
The term Peleset (transliterated from hieroglyphs as P-r-s-t) is found in five inscriptions referring to a neighboring people or land starting from circa 1150 BC during the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt. The first known mention is at the temple at Medinet Habu which refers to the Peleset among those who fought with Egypt in Ramesses III's reign, and the last known is 300 years later on Padiiset's Statue. The Assyrians called the same region Palashtu/Palastu or Pilistu, beginning with Adad-nirari III in the Nimrud Slab in c. 800 BC through to an Esarhaddon treaty more than a century later. Neither the Egyptian nor the Assyrian sources provided clear regional boundaries for the term.The first appearance of the term Palestine was in 5th century BC Ancient Greece when Herodotus wrote of a district of Syria, called Palaistinê between Phoenicia and Egypt in The Histories. Herodotus was describing the coastal region, but is also considered to have applied the term to the inland region such as the Judean mountains and the Jordan Rift Valley. Later Greek writers such as Aristotle, Polemon and Pausanias also used the word, which was followed by Roman writers such as Ovid, Tibullus, Pomponius Mela, Pliny the Elder, Dio Chrysostom, Statius, Plutarch as well as Roman Judean writers Philo of Alexandria and Josephus. The word was never used in an official context during the Hellenistic period, and is not found on any Hellenistic coin or inscription, first coming into official use in the early second century AD. It has been contended that in the first century authors still associated the term with the southern coastal region.In 135 AD, the Greek Syria Palaestina was used in naming a new Roman province from the merger of Roman Syria and Roman Judaea after the Roman authorities crushed the Bar Kokhba Revolt. Circumstantial evidence links Hadrian to the renaming of the province, which took place around the same time as Jerusalem was refounded as Aelia Capitolina, but the precise date of the change in province name is uncertain. The common view that the name change was intended sever the connection of the Jews to their historical homeland is disputed.During the Byzantine period c. 390, the imperial province of Syria Palaestina was reorganized into: Palaestina Prima, Palaestina Secunda, and Palaestina Salutaris. Following the Muslim conquest, place names that were in use by the Byzantine administration generally continued to be used in Arabic. The use of the name Palestine became common in Early Modern English, was used in English and Arabic during the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem. In the 20th century the name was used by the British to refer to Mandatory Palestine, a mandate from the former O ...
