Hannukah – eight days of music, dance, theatre and holiday fun from the traditional to the delightfully different!<\/p>\n

Start the holiday off with Ohana Brass Band at Beit Avi Chai<\/a> (48 King George St. Jerusalem) on Saturday, December 8th at 22:00. No Hannukah would be complete without levivot (latkes\/potato pancakes\/what you will), and Hannukah would just not be Hannukah without Shmemel <\/a>and Hannah Zelda! Shmemel concerts are always a fantastic party, and their traditional crazy Hannukah antics are legendary. Just so you don’t miss them, they will have two performances during Hannukah: Beer Sheva on December 12th at HeHalutz 33<\/a>\u00a0 and on December 15th at Beit Avi Chai at 22:00<\/a>.

The Batsheva Ensemble will perform Kamuyot and Deca’le, all the explosive energy of Batsheva productions in a more innocent, light-hearted version for kids – it’s fun, fun, fun & almost sold out – so get ’em while you can, click here<\/a>.\u00a0 Ohad Naharin’s Sadeh21, which premiered at the Israel Festival, will also be performed during the holiday, link here for tickets<\/a>\u00a0 and read more about this defiantly abstract and intensely emotional work here<\/a>.
