The excitement of Purim and the Jerusalem marathon is behind us, and Pesach is still a couple of weeks away, but there are plenty of fun things going on in Jerusalem this week. With the weather warming up, the Holy City's social calendar is heating up as well. From a spectacular 100-dancer show, "The Pirouette's Taverna," at Beit Shmuel as part of the Jerusalem Arts Festival, to a weekend of science-themed events for adults courtesy of the Bloomfield Science Museum, to a live outdoor show featuring popular Israeli singer Rona Kenan at the Tower of David Museum, there's something for everyone.
