paragraph: Tiantong Zongjue (; ), was a Chinese Zen Buddhist monk during the Song Dynasty. He was born in Hezhou, but left home to practice Buddhism at the age of sixteen. His ordination took place two years later. Zuzhao Daohe of the Yunmen School was his first teacher. However, Daohe retired and was replaced by Zhenxie Qingliao of the Caodong/Sōtō School, who became the teacher that gave Zongjue dharma transmission. In 1132, Zongjue became the abbot of Yuelin Temple where he served for 23 years. After this period, his abbacy switched to Mt. Xuedou. He remained there for four years before becoming the abbot of Tiantong Monastery near the modern city of Ningbo in 1159. He was replacing the former abbot, the famous Hongzhi Zhengjue, who died there in 1157. It was from this final temple, where Zongjue died in 1162, that he took his name. Tiantong temple was the same monastery where Eihei Dogen studied under Tiantong Rujing before bringing the teaching back to Japan and founding the Sōtō School.

paragraph: Xu Shen

paragraph: Xu Shen ( CE) was a Chinese scholar-official and philologist of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-189). He was born in the Zhaoling district of Run'an prefecture (today known as Luohe in Henan Province). During his own lifetime, Xu was recognized as a preeminent scholar of the Five Classics. He was the author of "Shuowen Jiezi", which was the first comprehensive dictionary of Chinese characters, as well as the first to organize entries by radical. This work continues to provide scholars with information on the development and historical usage of Chinese characters. Xu Shen completed his first draft in 100 CE but, waited until 121 CE before having his son present the work to the Emperor An of Han.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Xu was a student of the scholar-official Jia Kui 贾逵 (30-101). Under Jia, he established himself as a master in his own right and enjoyed a positive reputation. This education allowed him to hold several government offices at the prefecture level, and ultimately rise to a post in the royal library. Before undertaking the "Shuowen", he was already a prolific writer. Although lost, one of his better known early works was a commentary on the Huainanzi, an important sociopolitical work from the second century BCE.

paragraph: Xu Shen's life and work were shaped by the fierce division between Old Text and New Text schools of Confucian thought. These rival camps grew out of the wide proliferation of Confucian texts, which was brought on by the Emperor Wu of Han's elevation Confucianism to the state philosophy. Because knowledge of the Confucian canon was the primary qualification for government office, there was a large upswing in the rate of copying. These new additions were written in a standardized Han dynasty script. During the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han (r. 33-7 BCE), however, older manuscripts were discovered in the imperial archives and in the walls of Confucius's family mansion. These older texts were written in a pre-Qin, small seal script ("xiaozhuan" 小篆). Importantly, they also differed in their content and organization. A group of scholars, which came to be called the Old Text school, emerged and advocated for the use of this more ancient version. The New Text school meanwhile preferred the more recent versions. Since Han jurisprudence was based on the classics, the interpretation of even a single character could lead to concrete differences in legal opinions. The great variation in interpretations greatly troubled Xu. He was familiar with both schools: Jia Kui was a respected Old Text scholar, but Xu's official work required familiarity with the New Text editions. In an attempt to eliminate discrepancies between interpretations, Xu authored "Different Meanings of the Five Classics" (五经异义), a commentary, now lost, that incorporated interpretations from both the New and Old Text schools. Xu picked the readings that were best to his mind, regardless of school. Ultimately though, Xu decided that only a rigorous work on the development and history of each character could standardize the interpretation of the classics.

paragraph: Section::::The "Shuowen Jiezi".

paragraph: "See also: Shuowen Jiezi"Xu Shen's desire to create an exhaustive reference work resulted in the "Shuowen Jiezi" (说文解字). The "Shuowen" has no standard English translation, and is sometimes rendered: “Explain the Graphs and Unravel the Written Words" or "Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters." The uniting principle behind each part of the massive project was, as Xu Shen writes in his postface, "to establish defined categories, (to) correct mistaken concepts, for the benefit of scholars and true interpretation of the spirit of language." Intended to be a comprehensive work, it encompasses 15 chapters and over 9,000 small seal script entries, and has a preface and a postface. Xu intentionally listed headwords in pre-Qin characters in order to provide their earliest possible forms, and thereby allow the most faithful interpretation. It is among the first character dictionaries which examined the evolution of characters in detail, and streamlined the "six category" approach to analyzing Chinese writing. It also created a system of 540 semantically organized radicals.

paragraph: Section::::The "Shuowen Jiezi".:Linguistic theory.

paragraph: In the postface, Xu gives a brief account of the history of writing. According to legend, Chinese characters were first invented by Cang Jie, who was inspired by footprints to create a system of signs that refer to the natural world. These original graphs could then be combined to make meaningful characters with referents distinct from their component graphs. This was important for Xu Shen, who emphasized the productivity, even fertility, of Chinese writing. Despite the novel meanings of compound characters, Xu Shen believed that true understanding of composite characters was contingent on an understanding of their components. Providing clear explanation of these relationships lay at the heart of his motivation.

paragraph: Central to Xu Shen's thought is the contrast between "wen" (文 patterns) and "zi" (字 characters), indeed these contrasting categories of graphs receive separate mention in the work's title. Even today, there is disagreement over the exact definitions of the two terms. The Song dynasty scholar Zheng Qiao (郑樵) first presented the interpretation that "wen" and "zi" are the difference between non-compound and compound characters. More recently, other scholars, such as Françoise Bottéro (2002), have argued that the addition of a specifically phonetic element (and thus not simply compounding) marks the principal difference between "wen" and "zi". From this original binary contrast, Xu Shen formally delineated for the first time the six categories (六书) of Chinese characters.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Indicators of Function (指事), whose forms are iconic without being based on concrete objects. Examples include 上 ("shàng") and 下 (xià), indicating up and down respectively.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Form Imaging or Pictographs (象形), such as 山 ("shān"), meaning mountain.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Form and Sound (形声), which consist of a semantic element and an element indicating pronunciation. The character 汗 ("hàn" sweat), for example. contains the phonetic marker 干 ("gān" dry), and the semantic marker 氵("shuĭ" water).

paragraph: BULLET::::- Combining Meaning (会意), which unite two semantic elements. 明, for example contains the sun and the moon, and carries the meaning 'bright'.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Reciprocally Glossing (转注), which arose from a divergence of one character into two separate characters still linked in sound and meaning, such as 老 ("lăo") and 考 ("kǎo").

paragraph: BULLET::::- Loaning Characters (假借鉴), which essentially indicates one character whose meaning has been broadened to contain multiple definitions. This is seen in bifurcated meanings and pronunciations of 长, which originally meant 'leader' ("zhăng"), but came to have the second meaning 'long' ("cháng").

paragraph: To organize the thousands of headwords, Xu Shen established 540 radicals, and ordered them from least to greatest complexity. Each radical then headed its own group, which in turn subsumed all composite characters which incorporated the specific radical. The total number of 540 has a cosmological weight, as it can be derived from the product of 6, 9, and 10. 6 and 9 are the numbers of Yin and Yang, and 10 a number signifying completion. This number symbolizes the exhaustive scope of the dictionary.

paragraph: Within the dictionary itself, each entry first gives the character's meaning, and alternate orthographies. It also accounts for a character's meaning, occasionally pronunciation, and cites examples of its use in the classical texts.

paragraph: Section::::Models and influences.

paragraph: Xu Shen had to rely on a large body of sources to collect the thousands of characters and variants that appear in the "Shuowen". Many small script characters were taken from the "Cangjiepian" (仓颉篇 c. 220 BCE); ancient characters were collected from the texts found in Confucius's mansion, and Zhou characters were taken from the "Historian Zhou's Primer" (史籀, dated to c. 578 BCE, the reign of Emperor Xuan).

paragraph: The "Shuowen" has often been the subject of commentary and study. The earliest reported research was conducted in the Sui dynasty by Yu Yanmo (庾俨默), though this work has not survived. Later in the Tang dynasty (618-907), Li Yangbing (李阳冰 713-741) prepared an edition, though this version is lost as well. The oldest surviving editions go back to a pair of brothers, Xu Xuan (徐铉) and Xu Kai (徐锴). The pair lived in the Sui dynasty (581-618), and their work ensured the long term survival of the "Shuowen". The well-known philologist Duan Yucai (段玉裁 1735–1815) of the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) dedicated his life to studying the "Shuowen", and produced the authoritative version and commentary still used today, the "Shuowen Jiezi Zhu" 说文解字注 ("the Annotated Shuowen Jiezi").

paragraph: Xu Shen's work also provides a valuable resource for linguistic research. Duan Yucai based much of his research on the "Shuowen", and the philologist Zhu Junsheng's (朱骏声) phonological study "Explanatory Book of Sounds" 说文训定生 was written as a companion to the "Shuowen".

paragraph: Given the number of dictionaries and philological works that draw heavily from the "Shuowen", Xu Shen has towered over the field of Chinese lexicography, and his influence is still felt today.

paragraph: Section::::Criticism.

paragraph: A number of Xu Shen's character analyses are erroneous, as the seal script differs considerably from the older bronzeware script and the even older oracle bone script, both of which were unknown at the time, also to Xu Shen. Karlgren, for example, disputes Xu Shen's interpretation of 巠 (jing) as depicting a subterranean water channel. Referring to the bronze script, he proposes a reading linked to weaving. Furthermore, Xu Shen does not account for historical phonological change that between the earliest days of Chinese writing and his own era. This results in inaccurate sound analyses.

paragraph: Antônio Silva (fighter)

paragraph: Antônio Carlos Silva (born 14 September 1979) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist and kickboxer who competes in the Heavyweight division. A professional MMA competitor since 2005, he has competed for the UFC, Strikeforce, EliteXC, Cage Rage, Fight Nights Global, World Victory Road, K-1 HERO'S, and Cage Warriors. He is the former EliteXC Heavyweight Champion, Cage Rage World Heavyweight Champion, and Cage Warriors Super Heavyweight Champion.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Originally from Brasília, Distrito Federal, Silva began training in karate at the age of four, and received his black belt at the age of 12. After 13 years of karate training, Silva transitioned to Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo at the age of 17.

paragraph: Section::::Mixed martial arts career.

paragraph: Section::::Mixed martial arts career.:Club affiliation.

paragraph: Silva began his career with the UK-based Wolfslair MMA Academy in 2005. In 2006, after his bout with Tadas Rimkevicius, Wolfslair requested (to Silva's instructor Mario Neto) that Silva leave the team and return to Brazil. The gym claims Silva owed it over £20,000; however, Silva states that it owed him £6,000 in fighter purses for two fights, for which he was promised £3,000 each. After training with Brazilian Top Team during the dispute, Silva joined American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida. He also trained at the Imperial Athletics gym in Boca Raton, Florida, for his quarterfinal bout with Fedor Emelianenko in the Strikeforce World Grand Prix Heavyweight Tournament.

paragraph: Section::::Mixed martial arts career.:Early career.

paragraph: Silva made his professional debut in the United Kingdom against Georgian fighter Tengiz Tedoradze, who would become the Cage Rage British Heavyweight Champion two fights later. Silva was impressive in his debut, winning by TKO only 48 seconds into the fight. In his next bout, Silva made his Cage Warriors debut and won again via strikes after his opponent submitted.

paragraph: Silva then made his Cage Rage debut and became the Cage Rage World Heavyweight Champion after defeating his opponent via TKO. Silva then returned to Cage Warriors to fight longtime veteran Ruben "Warpath" Villareal for the Cage Warriors Super Heavyweight Championship and won again via TKO, and became the Cage Warriors Super Heavyweight Champion. Silva followed this up with a knockout win over Lithuanian fighter Tadas Rimkevicius before making his Japanese debut for K-1 Hero's. In his debut for the organization, he defeated longtime veteran Tom Erikson via TKO and then won his next fight by knockout.

paragraph: This brought Silva's record to an undefeated 7-0 with all his wins coming by TKO/KO within the first round. Silva faced Eric Pele in his first and only fight with the BodogFIGHT promotion and was handed his first career loss with a controversial TKO.

paragraph: Section::::Mixed martial arts career.:EliteXC.

paragraph: On 10 February 2007, Silva made his EliteXC debut at , against UFC veteran Wesley Correira. Silva won by TKO due to strikes in the first round.

paragraph: Silva was originally scheduled to fight on the Dynamite!! USA card as a representative of EliteXC. He was to face Jonathan Wiezorek, but the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) discovered a benign tumor on his pituitary gland in his pre-fight medicals and refused to license the fighter.

According to Silva's manager, Alex Davis, the positive test was caused by Silva's use of Novedex, a testosterone-booster he takes to raise his low testosterone levels (a symptom of his acromegaly). "He has to treat it", said Davis. "He spends between $6,000 and $8,000 a month just on medicine for it. He needs to be able to keep fighting to make a living. If it's between Antônio's health and pleasing the athletic commission, we have to choose his health."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Fossano, Giuseppe Beltrami attended the seminary in Fossano before being ordained to the priesthood on 5 March 1916. He served as a chaplain in the Italian Army during World War I (1916–1919), and then studied until 1923 at the Pontifical Roman Athenaeum S. Apollinare, from where he obtained his doctorates in theology and in canon law, and the Royal University, earning a doctorate in letters.

paragraph: From 1923 to 1926, Beltrami was a staff member of the Vatican Library. He was raised to the rank of an Honorary Chamberlain of His Holiness on 14 July 1924 and became an official of the Secretariat of State in 1926.

paragraph: Steve Sabella

paragraph: Steve Sabella (), born (May 19, 1975) in Jerusalem, Palestine is a Berlin-based artist who uses photography and photographic installation as his principle modes of expression, and author of the award-winning memoir, "The Parachute Paradox", published by Kerber Verlag in 2016.

paragraph: Sabella has shown his work internationally, at institutions and exhibitions such as , Rencontres d'Arles, Houston FotoFest, Arab World Institute, The Bumiller Collection Berlin, and the International Center for Photography Scavi Scaligeri, which hosted his first institutional retrospective in 2014. As a winner of the 2008 Ellen Auerbach prize, his first artist monograph "Steve Sabella - Photography 1997-2014" was published by Hatje Cantz and the Akademie der Künste, Berlin in 2014.

paragraph: Section::::Early career and education.

paragraph: Sabella first began studying at the Naggar School of Photography in Jerusalem, receiving a degree in Art Photography in 1997. In 2007, he received a BA in Visual Arts from the State University of New York.

paragraph: While living in Jerusalem, Sabella worked as both an artist and commissioned photographer. Hired by the United Nations Development Programme, UNICEF, UNRWA and many other aid organizations, he was one of the few photographers with complete access to the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem during the Second Intifada, which had drastically limited the mobility of Palestinians. In 2005, he was listed as one of Pillars Magazine's most established brands in Palestine. The same year, Sabella and one of his colleagues were taken hostage in Gaza, abducted by the family of a Palestinian security officer kidnapped by the Palestinian National Authority. He was released unharmed, after several hours of holding.

paragraph: In 2007, Sabella established the Palestine Photo Bank, an online image archive formed with the mission of promoting and supporting a positive picture of Palestine and its people.

paragraph: Sabella moved from Palestine to London in 2007, and began to focus solely on his art career. He completed an MA in Photographic Studies from the University of Westminster in 2008, and an MA in Art Business from Sotheby's Institute of Art in 2009. In 2010, he moved to Berlin, where he is currently based.

paragraph: Section::::Visual Art.

paragraph: Sabella has utilized large-scale photography, photographic collage, and mixed media in his visual practice. Irrespective of the method or medium, he considers his visual works as a form of research into the genealogy of the image. Rather than something that bears an indexical reference to the world, Sabella sees the photographic image as containing and producing its own form of reality. He has suggested that the creation of these alternate realities can be utilized politically, both as a means to foreclose or liberate the collective imagination—specifically in regards to Israel's occupation of Palestine.

paragraph: Section::::Recurring themes in Sabella's work.:Archaeology.

paragraph: Throughout his artistic practice, Sabella has created works concerned with the construction of visual history, investigating the role of the image in this process. He has often drawn parallels between his artwork and the field of archaeology, both in practice and theory: some of his photo-collages are partly composed by continuously removing layers of photographic visuals; other artworks have been printed on stones and paint fragments, appearing as ancient artifacts. Regarding the "38 Days of Re-Collection" series, consisting of photographs printed on fragments of paint scraped from the walls of Jerusalem's Old City, the scholar Ella Shohat wrote, “Scraping thus becomes both an act of excavation of the buried substrata of forgotten lives, as well as a means to visualise lives once again intermingled.”

paragraph: Section::::Recurring themes in Sabella's work.:Exile, the Palestinian experience & the colonization of the imagination.

paragraph: Critics of Sabella's work have often noted and discussed the themes of exile and the Palestinian experience. Artworks like "Settlement - Six Israelis & One Palestinian" and "38 Days of Re-Collection" bear more explicit connotations of Sabella's birthplace in their content and media, but the themes of diaspora and occupation are also suggested by the titles of his series such as "In Exile" and "Independence".

paragraph: In 2014 Sabella stated, "All we need is the imagination to find who we are and what we are searching for. It is the responsibility of the individual to stand up and free him or herself from the new form of colonization that people are affected by yet are unaware of, the colonization of the imagination. Palestinians do not need the UN, the EU, the United States or any other country in the world, and especially not Israel, to declare to them that they are free. We are all born free. Every Palestinian should wake up today and say –– I am a free person."

paragraph: In the artist's monograph, Hubertus von Amelunxen wrote, ”Steve Sabella is a Palestinian, born in Jerusalem in 1975 … Although he still has the privilege of being able to return, he chose exile, and art teaches him to grasp exile in its distorting and destructive consequences, which leads to an existence that is marked by a driven search and borders on disintegration. His art is an art of understanding; it is poetic and suppresses neither expulsion nor salvation. It keeps to the path and forms a bridge — it is the bridge.”

paragraph: Section::::Recurring themes in Sabella's work.:Experimentation of the photographic medium.

paragraph: Since the beginning of his artistic career, Sabella has experimented and played upon the traditions of the photographic medium: his 1997 series "Search" was shot on infrared film; "Kan Yama Kan" (2005) and "Settlement - Six Israelis & One Palestinian" (2008-2010) both reconfigure photographs to be viewed through installation; photographs in his works "Till the End" (1997) and "38 Days of Re-Collection" (2014) are printed on stones and fragments of paint, respectively. Sabella's photo-collages such as "Euphoria" (2010) and "Metamorphosis" (2012) have elicited comparisons to the medium of painting; in this respect, the artist and historian Kamal Boullata has written, “Over the last decade [Sabella] has been using his camera as a painter uses his brush... A few decades ago, that is, long before globalization permeated all fields of cultural expression in our world, I wrote on the evolution of Palestinian painting following the country's national catastrophe in 1948. I documented how painters living at home or as refugees in the proximity of the homeland have universally employed a representational language of expression. The further away they lived, the more they engaged in abstraction. At the time, I never imagined such a phenomenon could possibly manifest itself in the field of photography.”

paragraph: Section::::Recurring themes in Sabella's work.:Musicality.

paragraph: The variation in formal rhythm and tone in many of Sabella's photo-collages, as well as the theme running throughout his work of divergent voices being placed in dialogue, has prompted Hubertus von Amelunxen to relate musical concepts to his oeuvre. In "Steve Sabella - Photography 1997-2014", von Amelunxen draws connections to notions of counterpoint, and writes specifically on Sabella's work "Sinopia", which collages photographs of the skyline of Manama, Bahrain, “The city, photographed at dawn and during the day, is reflected along the central axis, the sea and sky indistinguishable from one another and the skyline, appearing out of the mist of dawn, retracting and then rising up again, reverberates at different pitches. Through visual reiteration, shadowy high-rises, a sound pattern emerges…”

paragraph: Sabella has also collaborated with musicians. In 2014, he commissioned the jazz ensemble The Khoury Project to interpret the visual form of his "Sinopia" skyline collage as a waveform, and create an electroacoustic composition that also sampled audio from locations in Bahrain.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions.:Solo exhibitions.

paragraph: From 1997 to the late 2000s, Sabella exhibited his work at various venues in Palestine. 2010 saw Sabella's first solo in Europe, "Steve Sabella: In Exile" at Metroquadro Gallery, Rivoli. Since then, notable solo exhibitions include "Archaeology of the Future" at the International Centre for Photography Scavi Scaligeri, Verona (2014); "Fragments" at Berloni Gallery, London (2014); "Layers" at Contemporary Art Platform, Kuwait (2014); "Independence" at Meem Gallery, Dubai (2014); and "Fragments From Our Beautiful Future" at The Bumiller Collection Berlin.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions.:Group exhibitions.

paragraph: Sabella has shown work in group exhibitions including "Gates of the Mediterranean" at the Castello di Rivoli, Rivoli (2008, curated by Martina Corgnati); "First Biennial of Photographers of the Contemporary Arab World" at the Arab World Institute (IMA) and the Maison européenne de la photographie, Paris (2015, curated by Gabriel Bauret); "Nel Mezzo del Mezzo" at the Palazzo Riso, Palermo (2015, curated by Christine Macel); "View From Inside" at the FotoFest Biennial, Houston (2014, curated by Karin Adrian von Roques); and "Keep Your Eye on the Wall" at Les Rencontres d’Arles, Arles (2013, curated by MASASAM).

paragraph: Section::::Selected art publications.

paragraph: Section::::Selected art publications.:"Steve Sabella - Photography 1997-2014".

paragraph: The first monograph of the artist's work, "Steve Sabella - Photography 1997-2014", was published by Hatje Cantz in collaboration with the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, in 2014. Its core texts are written by Hubertus von Amelunxen, with a foreword by Kamal Boullata. Hatje Cantz states that the book, "reads time and history out of the photographs and thus describes the genesis of Sabella’s photographic oeuvre under the aspects of exile, identity, migration, and the divided topologies of the 21st century."

paragraph: Section::::Selected art publications.:"Archaeology of the Future".

paragraph: Published by Maretti Editore for Sabella's 2014 retrospective of the same name at the International Center for Photography Scavi Scaligeri, Archaeology of the Future contains texts by Sabella, Karin Adrian von Roque, Beatrice Benedetti, and Leda Monsour, among others.

Demos, Elliot R. Wolfson, and A.S. Bruckstein Çoruh.

paragraph: Section::::Writing.

paragraph: In addition to his visual work, Sabella has developed a writing practice that continues to vary in style and format. His essays on the international art market and art-world dynamics first appeared in "Contemporary Practices Art Journal", for which he was a regular contributor from 2008 to 2012.

paragraph: Section::::Writing.:"The Parachute Paradox".

paragraph: Sabella's memoir "The Parachute Paradox" was published in a limited edition of 1,250 by Kerber Verlag in 2016.

paragraph: Moshe Wallach

paragraph: Moshe (Moritz) Wallach (28 December 1866 – 8 April 1957) was a German Jewish physician and pioneering medical practitioner in Jerusalem. He was the founder of Shaarei Zedek Hospital on Jaffa Road, which he directed for 45 years. He introduced modern medicine to the impoverished and disease-plagued citizenry, accepting patients of all religions and offering free medical care to indigents. He was so closely identified with the hospital that it became known as "Wallach's Hospital". A strictly Torah-observant Jew, he was also an activist in the Agudath Israel Orthodox Jewish movement. He was buried in the small cemetery adjacent to the hospital.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Moshe Wallach was one of seven children born to Joseph Wallach (1841–1921), a textile merchant originally from Euskirchen, and Marianne Levy of Münstereifel. His parents moved to Cologne following their marriage in 1863. Joseph Wallach was a founder of Adass Jeshurun, the Cologne Orthodox community, which he later served as president.

paragraph: In his youth, Wallach attended the and a Jewish school run by the Cologne Orthodox community. He studied medicine at the University of Berlin and University of Würzburg, and received his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1889. In 1890 he was chosen by the Frankfurt-based Jewish Conference for the Support of the Jews in Palestine to emigrate to Palestine and carry out its plans to open a modern Jewish hospital in Jerusalem. Wallach first opened a clinic and pharmacy in the Armenian Quarter of the Old City. He also worked in the Bikur Holim Hospital as a women's and children's physician, ophthalmologist, and surgeon specializing in neck surgery. He was the first to perform tracheotomies in Jerusalem, and performed many ritual circumcisions.

paragraph: In 1896 Wallach returned to Europe to raise funds for the new hospital, collecting donations in Germany and Holland. Upon his return to Jerusalem, he purchased a 10-dunam (2.5 acre) plot of land located outside the Old City Walls on what would become Jaffa Road. He registered the land in his own name with the help of the German consul in Jerusalem, Dr. Paul von Tischendorf, who also helped him procure building materials from Germany.

paragraph: Shaare Zedek Hospital opened on January 27, 1902 with 20 beds, an outpatient clinic, and a pharmacy. With most of the hospital's patients living in the Old City, a 20-minute donkey ride away, and a dearth of in-house staff, Wallach often made house calls to determine whether a case actually warranted hospitalization. If transporting to the hospital would be dangerous, he performed curettage; otherwise, he accompanied the patient on a stretcher back to the hospital surgery.

paragraph: In addition to departments for internal medicine, maternity and children, Wallach later opened an infectious diseases department which was the only one in Jerusalem to treat polio. During the milk shortages of World War I, Wallach bought several milk cows and built a cowshed and grazing field for them behind the hospital. The herd was gradually increased to 40 cows and became a source of revenue, especially for kosher-certified milk sales for Passover.

paragraph: Wallach, who for several decades was the only in-house physician at Shaare Zedek, ran the hospital as a strictly Orthodox institution. He insisted on strict Sabbath observance and a high level of kashrut in the hospital, and personally supervised the milking of the cows. He arranged for an electric generator to service the hospital so that it would not have to rely on electricity provided by the power station, where Jews worked on Shabbat. He set aside part of the field adjacent to the hospital to the growing of wheat for "shemura matzo" and supervised the baking of matzos for Passover. For Sukkot, he erected a by sukkah in the hospital courtyard to accommodate both eating and sleeping.

paragraph: The language of the hospital was German or Yiddish; Wallach refused to speak in Hebrew, the language of Torah study, in a secular institution. Before the rise of Nazism, Wallach ordered all hospital correspondence to be conducted in German; afterwards he allowed letters to be written in Rashi script, a Hebrew typeface.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Schwester Selma.

paragraph: Wallach opened the hospital with two trained nurses, Schwester (Nurse) Stybel and Schwester Van Gelder. Van Gelder returned to her native Holland early on, being dissatisfied with the "primitive conditions" that existed at Shaare Zedek. Stybel fled to Germany with the outbreak of World War I; when she returned, she organized a strike against the conditions at the hospital. Wallach did not respond to her demands, and when she was unable to find other work and asked for her job back, he made her head of the laundry. "A true nurse never abandons her patients", he told her.

paragraph: In dire need of a head nurse, Wallach traveled to Europe in 1916. He was impressed with the similar organizational structure of the in Hamburg, and asked the head nurse there if she could spare one of her staff. The 32-year-old Selma Mayer (1884–1984), who in 1913 had been one of the first Jewish nurses to receive a German State Diploma, was recommended and agreed to travel. She arrived at Shaare Zedek in December 1916 and worked and lived at the hospital for the next 68 years, until her death at the age of 100.

paragraph: Schwester Selma was Wallach's right-hand person in the running of the hospital. She accompanied him on house calls and stood in for him as hospital director when he was away. She applied the German system to running the wards and cultivated a spirit of warm, personalized patient care that became the modus operandi for the hospital to this day.

paragraph: Section::::Jerusalem personality.

paragraph: Wallach became a well-known and respected personality in Jerusalem. He was invited to every political and diplomatic reception that took place during the Ottoman and British Mandate periods. The British High Commissioner Ronald Storrs was a personal friend of Wallach's; he expedited the doctor's request for the annual delivery of matzos to the hospital for the Passover holiday. Wallach was also close to leaders of the Old Yishuv, including Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld. He was a personal friend of Rabbi Jacob Israël de Haan, a political spokesman for the Haredi community in Jerusalem who was assassinated in 1924 just outside Shaare Zedek Hospital as he was returning to the hospital synagogue for evening prayers.

paragraph: Wallach was the personal physician of many Torah leaders of the Old Yishuv, among them Rabbi Chaim Hezekiah Medini (the "Sdei Chemed"), whom he treated in Hebron, Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, Rav of Jerusalem, Rabbi Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky, the first Dushinsky Rebbe, and Rabbi Solomon Eliezer Alfandari, who lived in the Ruchama neighborhood (today Mekor Baruch). He also treated King Abdullah I of Jordan.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.

paragraph: Wallach was a dedicated physician and a demanding and exacting employer. He was known to shout at nurses and patients alike who did not follow his instructions to the letter. His first pharmacist quit because he was unable to tolerate Wallach's behavior. However, Wallach also had a sense of humor. Once he was leaving the hospital late at night when he encountered a woman waiting by the locked gate. She did not know who he was, but begged him to let her in for a few minutes to see her husband, who had had an operation the previous day. "Quick, before that crazy man Wallach comes", she said. Dr. Wallach let her in, and received her profuse thanks when she came out again. "What is your name?" she asked. "You are such a kind person". "I am the crazy man Wallach", he replied.

paragraph: Despite his outer gruffness, Wallach had a kind heart. He adopted a young Syrian girl named Bolissa who had been brought to the hospital by her father and was subsequently abandoned there. He personally assisted poverty-stricken immigrants to find housing and jobs, and did not charge indigent patients. Before World War I, he intervened with Jamal Pasha, Ottoman leader in Palestine, on behalf of Jews who had been conscripted into the Turkish army or who were in danger of being expelled from the country. He also helped members of his extended family in Germany immigrate to Palestine after the rise of Nazism in the 1930s.

paragraph: Wallach was scrupulous in his own mitzvah observance. He engaged a teacher to study Talmud with him and spent much time learning with Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, leader of the Old Yishuv. Whenever he traveled on house calls, he brought along a Book of Psalms to recite on the road.

paragraph: Wallach never married. A wealthy German donor to the hospital, Yehoshua Hearn, wanted him to return to Germany to marry his daughter, but after consultation with Rabbi Sonnenfeld, Wallach determined that he would not leave the land for any reason. Later, when the girl agreed to travel to Palestine, Wallach arranged a "shidduch" between her and his brother Ludwig, who worked as a clerk at Shaare Zedek Hospital. Wallach resided in rooms in the hospital until his final day.

paragraph: Section::::Final years and legacy.

paragraph: Wallach retired at the age of 80. He was succeeded as director of Shaare Zedek by Dr. Falk Schlesinger, another German-Jewish physician.

paragraph: Wallach was feted on several occasions, beginning with a seventy-fifth birthday celebration at a hotel, which was attended by British Mandate health officials. Before his eightieth birthday, a Torah scroll was commissioned in his honor. Upon its completion three years later, Wallach donated it to the hospital synagogue. Two banquets were held in honor of his eighty-fifth birthday – one in the hospital, attended by the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, Ben-Zion Meir Hai Uziel, the Minister of Health, representatives of the Doctors Union, and representatives of the Old and New Yishuvs; and the second in the office of the Jerusalem mayor, Shlomo Zalman Shragai, who bestowed a commendation on Dr. Wallach for his years of public service. In honor of his ninetieth birthday, Wallach was awarded an honorary degree from the medical faculty of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The city of Jerusalem also named him a "Yakir Yerushalayim" (Worthy of Jerusalem); however, Wallach died the day before the presentation ceremony took place.

paragraph: Wallach died on April 8, 1957 at the age of 90. He was buried in the small cemetery adjacent to the hospital, on land he had given to the burial society of the Perushim and Ashkenazim of Jerusalem to use as a temporary burial ground during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. After the war, most of the 200 graves in this cemetery were relocated to permanent cemeteries, but a handful of graves remained, including that of Rabbi Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky, the first Dushinsky Rebbe, who died in Shaare Zedek Hospital in 1948. Per his request, Wallach was buried beside the Dushinsky Rebbe, whom he considered his mentor.

paragraph: According to Schwester Selma, over half of Jerusalem attended Wallach's funeral. He was eulogized by "Who's Who in Israel" as the Israeli medical profession's "spiritual leader for two generations". The Jerusalem municipality named the small street west of Shaare Zedek Hospital "Moshe Wallach Street" in his honor.

paragraph: Prime Minister of Israel Yitzhak Rabin paid tribute to Wallach in a 1995 address in the United States Capitol rotunda inaugurating the Jerusalem 3000 celebrations. In a speech titled "My Jerusalem", Rabin began:

paragraph: "Jerusalem has a thousand faces – and each one of us has his own Jerusalem. My Jerusalem is Dr. Moshe Wallach of Germany, the doctor of the sick of Israel and Jerusalem, who built Sha'arei Zedek hospital and had his home in its courtyard so as to be close to his patients day and night. I was born in his hospital. I am a Jerusalemite".
