Playing host to dozens of conference and fairs a year, the Jerusalem International Convention Center (ICC) - better known by its former name, Binyanei Ha’uma - is the largest of its kind in the country. The building, erected in 1956 not far from the government complex on Givat Ram, plays host to a variety of conventions, seminars, exhibitions, and cultural events, and houses a movie theater.
The center is a total of 12,000 square meters spread over 10 spaces on two levels which can accommodate between 40 and 10,000 participants.
The building’s huge Ussishkin Auditorium - the largest in Israel with over 3,000 seats - has been the venue for events as diverse as the Eurovision song contest (twice) and the trial of Nazi war criminal Ivan Demjanjuk. It is also the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra home away from home in Jerusalem and hosts many of the higher-profile Israel Festival performances. Binyanei Ha’uma is also the place where the Globus movie theater (amazingly, one of only two multiplexes in Jerusalem) relocation, after its space in the Malha Mall was converted into the H&amp;M clothing store.
Among other things, the center offers professional stage services, design services, catering services, security, stewardship, WiFi and a professional team of events managers.
The ICC is located at the entrance to the city, right across the street from the Central Bus Station, and around the corner from the towering Crowne Plaza Hotel. The Center offers 850 parking spaces, making it a convenient choice for any event.

The Knesset is the main legislative body of the Israeli government. It enacts laws, elects the President and Prime Minister, supervises government, and more. It is split up into multiple committees that oversee each segment of government, such as finance and labor. There are 120 Knesset members (MKs), and each is elected to four-year terms. The Knesset was first convened February 14, 1949, following the January elections.
The Knesset building is located atop a hilltop in the quiet Givat Ram neighborhood of Jerusalem. It was constructed in 1966, and though additions have been added over time, the original 1966 basic structure remains. Tours in Hebrew, English, Arabic, German, Russian, Spanish, and French are available throughout the day and visitors are welcome to sit in on some debates.

The Museum for Islamic Art in Jerusalem tells the wonderful story of the Islamic world from the 7th century to the 19th century. 

L.A. Mayer Museum for Islamic Art

According to Christian tradition, the tree that was used to build the cross of the Crucifixion was located in Jerusalem’s Valley of the Cross, which today stretches between the neighborhood of Rehavia and Givat Ram.  It is said that Roman Emperor Constantine the Great consecrated the Valley in the 4th-century, and in the 11th-century, the Monastery of the Cross was built there with the help of the Georgian king.
For several centuries after its construction, the Monastery was the center of Jerusalem’s Georgian community; however, the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate took control of the compound by the late 17th-century.Like many Crusader-era buildings, the Monastery was made to last and still stands today, although the original structure constitutes only a small part of the complex. The Crusader section of the Monastery houses a church with a window that overlooks the exact site where the famed tree of the Cross is said to have grown. There are also a few remains from the 4th century – including fragments of a mosaic – a museum and the living quarters of the monks who currently inhabit the Monastery.
The church’s dome is one of the most striking features of the monastery, as are the frescoes, notably the one depicting celebrated Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli.

Monastary of the Cross Jerusalem

Named for Theodor Herzl, the visionary founder of modern Zionism, Mount Herzl is Israel’s national cemetery, housing the remains of Herzl himself. Also buried there are many of the Jewish state’s leaders over the years, and soldiers killed in battle. Among the figures interred at Mount Herzl are prime ministers Levi Eshkol, Golda Meir and Yitzhak Rabin, presidents Chaim Herzog and Zalman Shazar, and other prominent Zionist leaders.
Echoing the temporal proximity of Holocaust Remembrance Day to Israel’s Day of Remembrance for its war casualties, Mount Herzl is only a stone’s throw from the <a href="https://itraveljerusalem.com/attraction/yad-vashem/">Yad Vashem</a> Holocaust memorial and museum. But the two sites are dedicated to two very different types of grief: On the one hand, the incomprehensible loss of the Holocaust, where one is crushed under the sheer volume of the destruction, and on the other, the more intimate, but nevertheless communal, sorrow for Israel’s perished in combat. This mourning is most acutely felt on Remembrance Day, when bereaved families slowly file in crowds through the gates of Mount Herzl to attend the state ceremony.

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The Herzl Museum</h3>
At the entrance to Mount Herzl is the New Herzl Museum (with an admission fee), with fascinating insights into Herzl and the history of Israel. In a country as small as Israel, every soldier is truly a world in himself. And it is perhaps only at Mount Herzl that one can truly appreciate the pain and tribulations that this country endured in order to come into being and survive to see celebrate over 60 years. There, among the dense rows upon rows of identical flat gravestones stretching into the distance, one can begin to grasp the gaping wounds and profound, aching weariness – the prices Israel has paid in its relentless struggle for survival.

The wheels of justice grind slow, which may explain why it took more than 40 years for Israel’s Supreme Court to move from the Russian Compound to a home that does it justice. The Supreme Court’s current headquarters, built in 1992 by the Rothschild family and husband-wife architect duo Ram and Ada Carmi, is an attempt to say something about the making of justice without detracting from the functional purpose of the building.
One of the dominant motifs of the new Supreme Court is the sky, which is almost always visible through a series of windows and skylights. In the entrance foyer there is also a staircase leading upward, symbolizing the earth’s aspiration for divine justice though the law. On the outside, as well, the Supreme Court building, a mere five-minute walk from the Knesset and other government institutions, is striking. The stark modern look is offset by myriad touches of traditional and Jewish architecture, and a massive glass pyramid evokes Absalom’s Tomb on the Mount of Olives.
Visitors will be glad to discover the Supreme Court’s museum, which displays a diverse collection and offers a video presentation that explains the inner workings of the Court. And if you’re interested in seeing the justice system in action you’re welcome to sit in on a session.
