National Library of Israel — Attraction in Jerusalem

It's an amazing library with an incredible range of books, manuscripts, and other artefacts not only about Jewish life and culture in Israel but the diaspora, as well as other communities within Israel who are not Jewish. They have a truly staggering amount of material digitised - more than I have encountered in any library I have visited so far - and much of it is available for everyone to use and enjoy.

Not only that but they also have a lot of educational materials available for free online which helps children and others interact with the artefacts...

Israel's best library, it has any book you can think of. The library is dedicated to collecting the cultural treasures of Israel and of Jewish heritage and it holds more than 5 million books! It was very touching for me to see there a book which sister of my great grandfather wrote about our family. I felt proud that it was there too. Very soon it will be moved to a different building and won't be a part of Hebrew...

A time travel to the 70's. The furniture is old and not maintained. Not comfortable to sit. Compared to Beit Ariela in Tel Aviv it seems we entered a different era in a distant location. You are not allowed to enter with bags and this is a major hassle.

I hope that the new building will be ready soon and with better...
