Jerusalem's top events for the week of February 27th - 4

COMING SOON: Spring may have sprung prematurely in Jerusalem - but thanks to the Ariel company's "Yambakerach" ice rink and events at First Station, the frost will stick around a while longer. From March 3-April 22, Yambakerach promises an unforgettable experience for children and families, with ice skating, a circus show, and activities.
THURSDAY: As part of their winter tour the Jerusalem Niggun Ensemble visits the Menachem Begin Heritage Center Thursday night for a live performance featuring special guest Shem Tov Levi. The ensemble integrates ancient Jerusalemite melodies and piyyutim with new and original material for an uplifting musical experience.
FRIDAY:

The Tower of David Museum reveals hidden corners of the city in its new winter tour series. This Friday, discover the many special gardens that hide behind the stone walls of Jerusalem. Visit and hear their stories. (In Hebrew).

Following last season's success, Maestro Chaslin of the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra will once again perform the complete cycle of Beethoven's nine symphonies with a special twist. The first concert of the series takes place this Friday in Henry Crowne Hall, with a performance of Symphonies No. 1 and 5.
SATURDAY: “Orient Express” is Nevet Yitzhak’s video art exhibit designed especially for and inspired by the Museum of Islamic Art. The exhibit showcases video and animation art based on colorful reproductions of objects from the museum’s collection, which the artist succeeds in imbuing with eternal life.
MONDAY: Most of us can recall a certain song from childhood which when heard, remembered or sung brings back foggy memories and longings. HIT Librarian Director Michael Hayil took hers and used it as the inspiration for "In the Paradise of Childhood," an exhibit that opens at Ammunition Hill on Monday.
WEDNESDAY: Did you miss them? The Kalabat Shabbat ensemble returns to Beit Avi Chai next Wednesday with a special for the Book of Esther, noisemakers and Purim carnivals. Where did Vashti disappear? Which one of Haman’s sons was saved? And what will we do with all these fancy food gifts?! (In Hebrew.)
CULINARY CORNER: Adom presents a unique two week long oysters festival from February 25-March 11. During the course of the festival a special menu featuring various oyster dishes will be offered alongside the restaurant's regular menu. Come taste!
