حول بتسلئيل
"Then the Lord said to Moses, See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all manner of workmanship - to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts." (Exodus 31, 1-5).
Established in 1906 by artist Boris Schatz as the “Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts”, Bezalel has evolved into one of the world's most prestigious art schools.
The name Bezalel is synonymous with more than 100 years of Israeli art, innovation and academic excellence. Bezalel’s unique strength stems from the numerous breakthroughs it has been responsible for and its ability to respond and adapt to
cultural changes. It takes pride in its numerous generations of graduates – the spearhead of Israeli artists, designers and architects, in Israel and around the globe.
The Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design is, first and foremost, a group of talented, inspired and motivated artists and professionals. Both faculty and students are driven by a passion to create and by their dedication to quality and excellence.
These two pillars of the Academy have placed Bezalel at the epicenter of Israel’s cultural discourse and at the forefront of its artistic scene, making it instrumental in shaping the country’s cultural identity.
Bezalel has over 2000 students studying towards undergraduate degrees in the following departments: Fine Arts, Screen Based Arts, Architecture, Ceramics and Glass Design, Industrial Design, Jewelry and Fashion Design, Photography and
Visual Communication. In addition, Bezalel offers graduate degrees in the fields of Fine Arts, Urban Design, Industrial Design and Policy and Theory of the Arts. Each department preserves the traditional knowledge, tools, materials and workshops collected over many decades, while using state-of-the-art software and cutting-edge technologies.
Bezalel trains and prepares its students for a life of achievement and excellence. Our students receive a practical education of the highest order, along with a broad-based intellectual foundation in history, literature and philosophy, social studies and the fundamentals of scientific and technological thought. Through interdisciplinary, inter-departmental and 'basics' courses and the option of enrolling in courses in all of Bezalel's departments, our students are introduced to additional fields, outside of their specialized field, thereby enriching their artistic-design understanding.
The Bezalel Academy has an outstanding faculty as well as an extensive variety of expressive tools, providing our students with total freedom of choice and creative liberty. By the time they graduate, they are able to effectively cope with the challenges presented by the global world of the 21st century and succeed in blazing their own unique and individual trails through the magical – yet demanding – fields of art, architecture and design.

Sexual Harassment Prevention
Sexual Harassment Prevention
מניעת הטרדה מינית
منع التحرش الجنسي
Bezalel community is committed to maintaining a safe and encouraging space for all of its members. The core values of our community are equality, pluralism, and mutual respect.
To achieve that, we have the duty and responsibility to act resolutely to prevent sexual misconduct, harassment, and/or assault and to ensure a safe and fair space for people of all genders.
Please note that further important information on this subject is available in the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law (in English) and in the Academy Guidelines for the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (in Hebrew). The purpose of this page is to introduce the main points and contact details of the relevant officials (listed below).
---
If you have been assaulted, sexually harassed, or exposed to sexual misconduct, you have several possible courses of action:
1. Filing an identified or anonymous complaint to the Ombudsperson for Sexual Harassment and Assault (detailed explanation and contact details follow).
2. Since sexual harassment is a criminal offense, you can file a complaint with the police.
3. Since sexual harassment is a civil tort, compensation and other remedies can be claimed in a civil proceeding.
Bezalel Sexual Misconduct Policy
Sexual misconduct, harassment, and/or assault, whether by a student, faculty member, or a member of the administrative staff, constitutes a disciplinary violation.
If you have been sexually harassed or assaulted at the academy or a site where the academy’s activity takes place, or by a person in position of authority, as a student or an employee at Bezalel, you can file a complaint to Bezalel Ombudsperson for Sexual Harassment and Assault.
The Ombudsperson is obligated to examine all complaints reported to him or her. In the first stage, they will examine whether there is suspicion of sexual misconduct. If so, the Ombudsperson will make inquiries and ultimately decide whether to bring the complaint before the relevant disciplinary tribunal.
In the complaint inquiry process, all efforts will be made to protect the privacy of those involved as much as possible.
Complaint Handling
Sexual misconduct complaints are of the utmost importance in eradicating this phenomenon, and at the same time, the procedure of filing a complaint is not simple, and regrettably, have been known to lead to underreporting. We would like you to know that:
- We are committed to protecting you in the event of filing a complaint.
- Harassment due to filing a sexual misconduct complaint also constitutes an offense under the law.
- In the case that the Ombudsperson has decided to dismiss the complaint, you can appeal the decision to the President of the Academy.
Supportive measures:
Dealing with sexual harassment can be difficult and complex. We would like you to know that you have several channels of support and aid to help you through this.
The Dean of Students Office offers personal counseling and support channels – contact details below.
The Student Union is currently forming CALMA – community for the prevention of sexual misconduct, which will be able to counsel and assist you – contact details below.
Non-academic help services and hotlines: The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel, ERAN Association
