The Secret Link Between Jerusalem’s Letters of Light and Berlin

[00:00:01]guys what is the connection between  Jerusalem and we are in Jerusalem the Sun and Berlin the connection is T  Meed whoa whoa whoa whoa T tell us about it hello everyone hello hello um okay welcome to  Jerusalem again I haven't seen you for a while we are in um an environmental statute statue  yes by mik Goodman manman manman sorry he's a Israeli sculptor genius sculpture um and uh  he made a sculpture here next to the national library next to the Israel Museum and the Shrine  of the books next to the Hebrew University next to the old city next to the old city next  to the kesa to the parliament so this is the statue about the the Hebrew letters okay these are  the foundation elements of the Hebrew language of the Bible and this statue contained of two section  there is the underground area of we here yes and there is the um on on the ground on the surface  section we will be there in just a minute you walk in like you saw before you walk in in some  kind of a tunnel and over here it's it's an empty space it is empty it's so B empty it's not really  empty because uh the most important part here is the ceiling which is the ground of the part of  the sculpture that is upstairs on the ground and what you see here are the Silhouettes of the  first letter of the alphabet okay you see English and Arabic English and in Arabic as well and this  is transparent right now it's very cloudy upair uh I mean outside so you can't see it but when the  sun is shining but you get here this is part of the statue you will get the shade you can imagine  it of those hello hello and I have a question T So how do you connect this with Berlin yeah  right so what you do have here which is unlike the statue of mman in Berlin it looks empty but  it's not empty it's really full with the spirit uality of the letters of the language of the  Bible because you will have the shade of the letter of the first letter of the alphabet here  in this room so it's full of spirituality of the language really uh of the language of the Bible  and upstairs we'll go there right now and we will see the beautiful circle of all the other letters  of the Hebrew alphabet and what he did over there so in Berlin it's just one dimension it's the  dimension of Destruction it's the dimension of the empty space of all the books that were  burned this is uh May 1933 the Jewish books oh not just Jewish books all free spirit books all  the books a lot of Jewish books but also other writers philosophers um art books a lot of books  that uh the Nazis had called the people a lot of students especially to burn bur because they did  not go well with the Nazi ideology at all so in that square in Berlin what you have is the the  place where all these books were burned down okay so the statue over there is only underground and  when you look through the window in the ground of the square what you see is the empty space and  you see empty shelves out there so this is the memorial for the ideas and later the people that  would be killed and burned and destroyed and uh really taken away from this world and here the  idea is to bring back the spirituality and the presence of the language and the ideas are you  accepting it yes I find it very interesting and also it it takes me to to the present yes and I  visited recently theot and a city in near Gaza that was attacked by the terrorists when they got  inside m in the 7th of October and uh there is a new monument instead of amazing Monument of course  been twice there's a beautiful morale Morales and also you see the letters that are coming out  from the Flames yes so it was really wow I mean actually it's there is burning destruction fire  but like fire the letters come up again and they speak again life again brings us to the Roman time  and the Romans uh burn down some uh rabis rabbis and one of them don't remember his name he was  wrapped with a scroll and he was smiling when he was burned down together with the scroll and his  his disciples asked him why are you smiling and he said because I can see the letters of the Bible  goes up into flames straight to heaven with me in fact that moralism is the RO in in the site  of the police station it connect I know that's why I mentioning it it's beautiful and do  you know something about the three Hebrew letters here um I canot coming from the Thro  and in Hebrew it comes from the okay this one is the eighth letter in the Bible up here is the  fifth letter of the of it's like H it's hey but it's also the name of you know one of God's name  yeah it's a name of God that's why it's upstairs in heaven this one as well so I wonder about the  maybe because Shin Shin which is another this is okay of course can you can you hear the you want  maybe
