1906: Bezalel Academy of Art and Design founded:

The academy was established, officially, in March 1906, three years after founder Boris Schatz, a professor of art in Sofia, Bulgaria, convinced Theodor Herzl to build an art high school in Jerusalem.

The school set as its initial goals:

"Training of the youth Jerusalem in handcrafts, the formulation of original Jewish Art, support for Jewish artists, and finding a visual expression of the desire of spiritual and national independence, to create a synthesis between the European artistic traditions and traditional design of the Jewish East and West, and integrate with the local culture of the Land of Israel. "

1930: "The Thousand Program":

In March, 1930, The Jewish Agency for Israel debated the merits of the so-called Thousand project, in which 1,000 families would be brought to settle the area, and be paid 350 Israeli Lira to aid their efforts to work the land. An aerial video of the region is viewable here, and a 1947 film, "This is Our Valley," about the redemption of the land and settlement-building, is here.
