The commission for the Jewish Community School was won in 1991 by the Israeli architect Zvi Hecker, whose other works include, "Sunflower" (at Ramat-Hasharon) and "Spiral" (at Ramat-Gan). This volume documents the architectural, cultural and spiritual issues involved in the building of the school.

"Zvi Hecker's Jewish Community School in Berlin must be considered one of the major works in our time for its thought-provoking energy that makes us think deep about many things related to life and architecture, not least about the meaning of knowledge, expulsion, place and death." JOHN HEJDUK
