To mark the 75th anniversary of modern Israel, this six-week series of Wednesday evening lectures held with Jewish Renaissance explores the lives, culture and history of the Jewish community in the pre-state period, as well as the discussions leading up to the Declaration of Independence.

From the very first steps of artistic activity in Jewish Palestine in the first quarter of the 20th century, there were attempts to establish a “local, genuine” art. The idea was that the art made in Eretz Yisrael – often called Hebrew Art, to distinguish it from Jewish art – was significantly different from art created in the diaspora. Dr Dalia Manor explores the developments in art in Jewish Palestine during this period and the ideology behind this new style of art.
