הכנסת

The Knesset is the house of representatives of the State of Israel and the heart of its democracy. The building is an iconic example of modernist architecture, featuring famous tapestries designed by Marc Chagall in the main lounge. Guided tours offer a glimpse into the legislative process, the history of the building, and the various artworks that celebrate Jewish heritage. Visitors can often observe plenary sessions from the public gallery when the Knesset is in session. Outside, the large bronze Menorah, a gift from the British Parliament, stands as a symbol of the state and its history. The atmosphere is formal and significant, reflecting the weight of national governance. It is a must for anyone interested in the political life of the Middle East.
