The State of Israel itself exists today only because Jews have been able to save its authentic culture and traditions during thousands of years.
In Israel they take good care of everything that tells the story of the formation of the Jewish state. Six years ago, the Israeli Knesset passed the law according to which in the building, were the first parliament of young Israel sat, museum will be created.
The building, I must say, is unremarkable: a three-story mansion at King George Street in Jerusalem, which belonged to the Froumine family. It housed 120 deputies, along with their assistants and clerks from 1950 to 1966. But here worked the founding fathers of Israel, headed by David Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin, Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan... If the walls could talk, they would have told many unique stories about the formation of the young state, and the historic decisions which have been taken within the walls of this building. Now in the building of the former Knesset preparation for the opening of the museum are under way.
In the meantime the building is being reconstructed, for future visitors a video was filmed featuring the current head of the current parliament: the tour is conducted personally by Yuli Edelstein.
