Joseph Barsky’s design for the Herzliya Gymnasium, established in 1905 as the first Hebrew high school in Palestine, was adapted from Charles Chipiez’s and Georges Perrot’s understanding of Palestinian antiquarian and vernacular architecture, combined with elements conceived as expressing “Oriental” and “Hebraic” spirit or tradition.
