VF-XF condition. Bineyeni HaUma Ltd., is a concert hall and convention center in Giv’at Ram in Jerusalem. It is the largest convention center in the Middle East. Binyenei Ha’Uma was first envisioned by Alexander Ezer and planned by architect Zeev Rechter who won the design competition in 1949. The complex was under construction from 1950 to 1963. The period of economic difficulty and austerity in the first decade of Israeli independence led to frequent disruption in construction due to lack of funds, and the project was sometimes disparagingly called Hirbet HaUma, the National Ruin.

The company was established in 1930 by Moshe Novomeysky. It was known then as the Palestine Potash Company. From 1936, it was a profitable enterprise despite attempts by the German potash cartel to strangle the business by dumping potash at below-cost prices. In the Israel War of Independence in 1948, the northern half of the production facilities was occupied by the Jordanian Legion, which was destroyed in the ensuing fighting. In 1951, the company was nationalized by the Israeli government under the Ministry of Development. In 1953, it was renamed the Dead Sea Works. (John E.
