Description
Israel Heritage Room committee member Margery Weiner at a Nationality Rooms Program event. The Israel Heritage Room (IHR) took over twenty years of planning, research, funding, and construction. It was the first room to be built after a thirty year hiatus on the Nationality Rooms project, the first room to be housed on the third floor of the Cathedral of Learning, and the first committee created and room completed under direction of Nationality Rooms Director E. Maxine Bruhns. The IHR depicts a first century stone dwelling to highlight both the shared rabbinic heritage of all Jews and to emphasize the tradition of learning and study common to “the People of the Book”. Dedicated on November 1, 1987, this Nationality Room, along with twenty eight others were conceived as a physical and celebratory way to link the University of Pittsburgh with the multitude of cultures that comprise the city and help build it.
