Looking for a different Hannukah experience? Shonim (literally – different, in Hebrew) might be what you are looking for, a multi-disciplinary evening that takes a different look at Jewish culture and traditions. Shonim will take place at the Ozen Bar on December 13, 2012 (6th candle), at 22:00.<\/p>\n

Initiator of the event, Lior Zalmanson (PrintScreen<\/a> & other cool stuff), says:<\/p>\n

Despite years of Jewish education and living in the Jewish state, the majority of young Israelis are turned off by their perceptions of the borders of traditional Jewish culture. As a result they keep themselves out. Shonim is a special event that aims to show that Jewish culture is far more diverse and exciting than perceived. Shonim marks an attempt at new tradition; there will be a cultural night and party celebrating the esoteric, weird, and fringe themes of Judaism.<\/strong><\/p>\n
