Religion
The Cymbalista Synagogue at Tel Aviv University was designed to express the diverse facets of Judaism using secular and orthodox themes. Designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, its unique architectural structure led to its recent designation as a historic building preservation.
Participating Tel Aviv University Researchers:
Masada & The Dead Sea
What’s left to discover in Israel’s most popular and majestic national park? In the past few years, TAU’s excavators discovered two Herodian cisterns, indicative of the presence of vineyards, and red-letter writing in Palestinian Aramaic that reads “Lord Jesus.” What else will they find on the legendary mountain?
Tel Aviv – Jerusalem
The old testament in service of science – A joint study by Tel Aviv University, The Hebrew University, and Israel Antique Authority, recreated the Earth’s magnetic field on the day the Temple of Jerusalem
was destroyed in 586 BC. Relics from “The City of David” were evaluated
in a paleomagnetic lab and researchers were able to pinpoint a date, matching the old testament accounts.
Cultural Entertainment
Can virtual reality change the way we enjoy theatre plays? That is one of the questions TAU researchers are exploring in the “Act, Play, Game,” our new Innovation Lab, using interdisciplinary methods with digital and virtual reality devices.
