The Jerusalem Academy of Fine Arts english: Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design) is a Jerusalem high school for art education, named after the biblical character "Bezalel, son of Uri. The institute was founded in 1906 by Jewish-Lithuanian professor Boris Schatz (formerly among the founders of the "Royal Academy of Art in Sofia") as a Jewish-Eastern center for the development of applied arts and crafts in Palestine.
