Jerusalem’s cultural calendar for April 10 to April 16 offers a range of activities adapted to ongoing security concerns, encouraging residents to follow Home Front Command safety guidelines while enjoying local events. Highlights begin with pre-orders for 'Bitul Torah,' a humorous party game inspired by the lives of observant English-speaking Jews in Israel, created as a nonprofit community project.
The week also features a staged Hebrew adaptation of Josephus’ 'The Jewish War' by the Mikro Theater, available for online viewing, and a new exhibition titled 'Absence' by Ilana Hoffmann at the Rashuta Gallery, which is part of a network promoting tolerance in Jerusalem. Theatergoers can attend 'From Darkness to Light,' an English-language performance by Gabriella Lev about her mother’s survival during the Holocaust, followed by a discussion.
Additional events include a podcast conversation with Eleanor Reissa about Yiddish culture, a welcoming atmosphere at Fishenzon Bar, and a visit to Habotke Shel Moshiko, a small eatery commemorating a fallen soldier. The week concludes with an online discussion hosted by the Leo Baeck Institute examining how emerging technology, including holograms of Holocaust survivors, is shaping Holocaust remembrance in the modern era.
