Virtual Tour - What was Herzl's Favorite Emoji?

What is the most ancient Jewish symbol?  If your answer was the Star of David ✡️ - try again!  It’s actually the seven-branched Menorah 🕎, which originally represented something entirely different than it does today.       

Join this tour to learn the story of this, and other important symbols as they evolved or fell out of use, from the times of the Second Temple until today.  

"What Was Herzl’s Favorite Emoji?" opens a window into different aspects of modern Israeli and Jewish society, and raises important dilemmas and challenges. This journey begins with the Maccabees, through King Herod, the Great Revolt, the Bar Kokhva Revolt and the Bysantine period, and ends with Modern Zionist Art from the Bezalel Art School.
