Jerusalem's top events for the week of January 19th

> Jerusalem's top events for the week of January 19th

They say that the best way to stay warm is too keep moving, and Jerusalem is taking that to heart, with concerts, shows, art talks and culture galore.

Ein Kerem's Brasserie hosts Israeli wineries for a series of Thursday night wine tastings, accompanied by hearty winter food options on the menu and pastoral Mediterranean surroundings (pictured). This weekend spotlights the Judean Hills-based Agur Winery, with Tabor of the Galilee on tap for the series finale next weekend.

If you've ever watched old Israeli movies, you know that nobody's got dance moves quite like kibbutz dwellers. Tonight the Kibbutz Dance Troupe comes to the big city to show off their chops at the Jerusalem Theatre.

On Friday, the Tower of David Museum hosts a gallery talk delivered by the curators behind the stop-motion video art installation Jerusalem in Four Hands.

There's Adi, the non-profit which helps collect organs, and then there's the Israel Organ Association, which plays them. On Saturday, the latter kick off its 2012 season with a recital at Augusta Victoria Church on Mount Scopus.

Not enough classical performance for ne day? The Abu Gosh series of winter classical music concerts takes place on Saturdays in the comfortable climate-controlled Kiryat Yearim church. This Saturday's concert features a variety of musical treats, with French Chansons, Debussy and the Naama Women's Choir.

Molecular gastronomy may be all the rage in kitchens from el Bulli to Nona, but in Jerusalem, cooking with molecules is done every day, and the Bloomfield Science Museum has a special show for kids on molecular cooking that should get them hungering for more.

On Monday, get a read on Israeli poetry at literary café Tmol Shilshom, where poet Esther Ettinger reads from and talks about her new book Night and Day.

The photographs on display in Beit Avi Chai's new exhibit In the Name of Protest document generations of Israeli social demonstrations, which ultimately yielded enduring visual symbols. The exhibit's context runs from the Israeli "Black Panthers" of the 1970s through the Rothschild tent city of summer 2011.
Guess who's back. Why, it's Johann Sebastian Bach, whose music is featured by the Jerusalem Baroque Ensemble at the Jerusalem Theatre on Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, limber up and head to Nachlaot for some downward dog and laughing baby. Oh, and there's a subsodized community yoga class there too.
