Project “Holy Land”: Yaakov Benor-Kalter’s Photographs of British Mandate Palestine, 1923-1940Project “Holy Land”: Yaakov Benor-Kalter’s Photographs of British Mandate Palestine, 1923-1940
1/29/2019 to 6/28/2019
Every week, Tuesday-Friday, 11am-4pm, during the UC Berkeley Fall and Spring Semesters.
For nearly two decades, Yaakov (Jacob) Benor-Kalter (1897-1969) traversed the Old City of Jerusalem, documenting renowned historical monuments, ambiguous subjects in familiar alleyways, and scores of “new Jews” building a new homeland. Benor-Kalter’s photographs smoothly oscillate between two worlds, and two Holy Lands, with one lens.

Pièces de Résistance: Echoes of Judaea Capta From Ancient Coins to Modern Art Pièces de Résistance: Echoes of Judaea Capta From Ancient Coins to Modern Art
Case Study No. 9
8/28/2018 to 12/14/2018
Every week, Tuesday-Friday, 11am-4pm, during the UC Berkeley Fall and Spring Semesters.
Notions of resistance, alongside fears and realities of oppression, resound throughout Jewish history. As a minority, Jews express their political aspirations, ideals of heroism, and yearnings of retaliation and redemption in their rituals, art, and everyday life.
Centering on coins in The Magnes Collection, this exhibition explores how the Jewish revolts against Hellenism and the Roman occupation of Palestine (Judaea Capta) echo from antiquity into the present.
