Started the day visiting the Supreme Court. There are 15 justices that have to retire at age 70. Israel has no constitution and the Supreme Court hears appeals from the district courts. The building was financed by the Rothschild Foundation and built in 1992. Its interior and exterior architecture is modern and mostly constructed of limestone. The interior lobby floor has a design consisting of straight lines and circles. The straight lines ( yosher) means “integrity” and the circles depict “justice.”
Our next stop was Yad Vashem. Words cannot describe its impact. The memorial was built 8 years after the Holocaust. The first thing you see is the Avenue of the Righteous Gentiles with trees lined on either side. Each tree has a plaque with a name-Raoul Wallenberg, Oskar Schindler, and Rudy Edmonds. Each person 
has a story of selflessness and courage.
The Hall of Names is at one end of the museum and is organized around a hole in the floor that honors those victims whose names will never be known.
The Children’s Memorial is dedicated to the 1.5 million Jewish children who died in the Holocaust. Dug into the bedrock, the underground memorial contains a solitary flame reflected by hundreds of mirrors.
Chagall Windows are located in the Hadassah Medical Centre which was built in 1912. Each of the 12 colorful abstract panels depicts one of the tribes of Israel, based on Genesis 49 and Deuteronomy 33.
