Bridge to Education

.
Jerusalem has a new little bridge that was put up last summer.
I was happy to discover it a few weeks ago--perfect for Louis la Vache's Sunday Bridges meme.
.
It is useful, pretty, and what's more . . . it is a Bridge to Education!
.

The Gesher la-haskala creates a unified urban college campus, connecting the Esther Gottesman Center for Technology with Hadassah College Jerusalem’s traditional home in the building that originally housed the Rothschild Hospital on HaNeviim Street.
.

The website says "The Gottesman Bridge is a physical statement and visible affirmation that Hadassah College Jerusalem is a seminal, cohesive institution of higher education."
.
Most interesting for us bloggers, the 4-year, B.A.-granting institution has a Department of Photographic Communications!

Their web page promises that "Graduates will specialize in business/advertising photography as well as news/documentary photography. The program will provide students with tools to gain a unique perspective of the complex nature of the world in which we live; courses will offer students insight into the inherent complexities of representing society and the individual. Materials will be complemented by the study of the ethical issues in the world of communications."
.

For dramatic time-lapse photography of how the bridge was hoisted and installed by a dancing crane, see the lively little video at
