Jerusalem hotels, restaurants, attractions, tours & events. Helping since 2008

Hats! Gloves! Scarves! With snow forecast to blow into Jerusalem this week, we've compiled a handy list of fun activities you can use to find warm, dry breaks from the great outdoors.

• Get ready for the weather on Thursday by warming yourself up with a two-pronged approach at Spaghettim Restaurant downtown. At 23:00, the warmup party starts with a live musical performance, accompanied by a special late-night menu.
  

  "Sweet Festival" star Roni keeps kids mesmerized, thinking and delighted on Thursday afternoon at the Malcha Mall, with a Hebrew performance of Roni's Playground, a kiddie favorite which takes the audience on a magical, poetic adventure.

• On Friday you may just want to pick a place to bunker down, and what better way to stay warm and dry than enjoying a festive brunch at the Inbal Hotel? For just 89 NIS per mouth, we're talking unlimited drip coffee, pies, salads, juice, fresh-baked breads, cheeses, pastries, fruit and more, as overseen by Head Chef Moti Buhbut.
  

  Friday morning makes for an exciting opportunity to meet the curators of Jerusalem in Four Hands, the exhibit celebrating the animated films of Emanuel Luzatto and Julio Gianini, at a gallery talk in Hebrew at the Tower of David Museum. The discussion is followed by a screening.
  

  Ein Kerem's Eden Tamir Music Center's 43rd concert season continues in 2012 with a variety of enticing weekend concerts. This Friday features new works by Young Composers of the Composition Class at The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance.

• In case the snow never materializes, don't despair! Just take a trip on Saturday to Mini Israel, where from 11:00 to 17:00, they've got fresh, imported snow straight from the Hermon, with a blizzard of child-oriented activities to match.

• Having to deal with all the wintery articles of clothing is definitely a hassle. So, Sunday head over to the Israel Museum's exhibit Curious Minds: New Approaches in Design to be inspired by the displays, and - who knows - it might just lead you to do something innovative with your wardrobe as well.

• Monday it might be time for some fresh air, so take in the urban artsy Tabula Rasa project taking place in and around the Machane Yehuda outdoor market.
  
  Mondays also make for great opportunities to enjoy dinner on the town. Yerushalmi Card holders have been enjoying a slew of benefits since the card's launch in 2008, and the perks of having one just keep getting tastier. Check out towny-only deals at Italian eateries Spaghettim and Luciana, and Mamilla's kosher brasserie, Kedma.
  

• It's always a good time for great music, and Tuesday night Blaze Bar is a sure bet for a solid set from local rock outfit Kamoha.

• Wednesday, why not try out the Flashlight in the Dark exhibit over at Bloomfield? Get the most out of your visit to the Bloomfield Science Museum by taking advantage of guided tours, for children and adults alike. Check out the schedule of tours this month for several museum sections, including three Water exhibits, Kinetic Sculptures, and, of course, the aforementioned Flashlight in the Dark.
