Abstract
In 1974 Jacob Bekenstein has noticed that the area of the black hole behaves as adiabatic invariant and hence most likely must be quantized in integers of the Planckian area. In these notes I will present the arguments which led him and myself to such conclusion and will discuss the consequences of the black hole quantization.
