INTRODUCTION

Quote: “Tania Coen-Uzzielli, Tel Aviv Museum of Art director, said: “I am happy to announce to the Israeli public that we managed to keep the exhibition open for three more weeks. The Yayoi Kusama exhibition has surpassed all expectations, attracting more than half a million visitors. Most of them have never heard of the artist before arriving at the exhibition, and for many of them, this was their first visit to the museum altogether.”

NAME THAT ISRAELI

This Jew died in 1923, so strictly speaking he was not an Israeli; however, he was instrumental in the eventual establishment of Israel. On hearing Theodore Herzl’s plans for creating a Jewish state, he is said to have declared, “If you are insane, we are insane together. Count on me!” Herzl and he are credited with founding the modern Zionist movement. A thoroughfare in Tel Aviv is named after him.

Can you name him?
