Jerusalem is home to Beit Avi Chai, on the corner of King George Street and Keren Kayemet L'Yisrael Street. It is home to one of Jerusalem's most eclectic mixes of performances, galleries and other productions; including comedy and music. A cultural center that takes a wide-angle look at Israeli and Jewish culture, it puts on some of the most high brow and interesting events available in the entire city.

There are modern interpretations of these mystical and deeply spiritual writings, with poetry and music springing forth to help our understanding of the texts
