Motsash "in the Jewish Museum. Hanukkah 5782

The Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center presents the Motsas project. In winter, after Shabbat, the museum will open on Saturday with a special program for visitors: it will include excursions and events for the whole family, pop-up sets from the Rishon cafe, as well as concerts of contemporary performers from Israel, Russia and other countries.

What is Motsas?

Motsas is a project that allows visitors to independently choose how they want to see the museum. For those who have already explored regular excursions and family programs, Motsas will be an opportunity to experience the exposition and exhibitions from a different perspective.

In Israel, the word "motsash" refers to what happens when the Sabbath ends. In the religious sense of the word "motsash" is the time when it is allowed to resume everyday activities prohibited on Saturday. In the secular worldview, "motsash" means revitalization on the streets of Israeli cities after Shabbat: shops, restaurants and cultural centers open, residents rush to spend the weekend at concerts, parties ("mesibot") and in cinemas.

The first "Motsas" of the museum will be dedicated to Hanukkah 5782 - a holiday associated with light, miracles and a generous table. The headliner of the program will be Max Schreiber: Tel Aviv-based producer and resident of the CONFUSED MACHINES label will present live ambient improvisation.
