Israel Heritage Nationality Room

View of the Israel Herritage Nationality Room inside the Cathedral of Learning. The Israel Heritage Room, dedicated on November 1, 1987, was the result of over twenty years of planning, research, funding, and construction. It was the first room to be built after a thirty-year hiatus on the Nationality Rooms project. The room depicts a first century stone dwelling to highlight both the shared rabbinic heritage of all Jews and to emphasize the tradition of learning and study common to “the People of the Book."
