The Shrine of the Book (Hebrew: היכל הספר‎, Heikhal HaSefer) is a wing of the Israel Museum in the Givat Ram neighborhood of Jerusalem that houses the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Hebrew Bible is the cornerstone of the Jewish people and this fundamental text has left its imprint on Christianity and Islam. The Shrine of the Book was built as a repository for the first seven scrolls discovered at Qumran in 1947. The unique white dome embodies the lids of the jars in which the first scrolls were found. In the back you see the Knesset Parliament. PIP the usual photo of the Knesset

The gates were moved in 2007 so that they are now a stand-alone structure. The Knesset;The Parliament, lit. "the gathering" or "assembly" is the unicameral national legislature of Israel.
