This week in Jerusalem

by michael • October 23 2008
This week in Jerusalem, For the kids, Music, Things to do

See Giselle. See Giselle haunt. Haunt, Giselle, haunt.

Hey there Jerusalemites. We've all successfully made it through another non-stop month of holidays, so get out there and take down your beautiful, elaborately decorated sukkah before your neighbors complain. Once that's out of the way, you deserve to ease yourself back into the grueling non-holiday schedule with a bit of local entertainment - and once again, we're here for you:

Israeli-cum-Austinite Ruth Dolores Weiss is on a homecoming tour in support of her latest album, and she'll be playing the Yellow Submarine tonight.

Get to know the green-eyed monster by taking in the Khan's oft-recurring production of Othello, also tonight.

Is there anything more hardcore than a no-holds-barred musical competition between up-and-coming classical violinists at the Targ Music Center? It's like a bebop cutting contest, only without the creativity. Take it all in on Friday.

Inscrutable avant-garde street art about Tel Aviv vs. Jerusalem? Barbur has got it through November, starting on Friday.

If the kids are bugging you on Saturday, give them a subtle warning about potential consequences by taking them to see Peter and the Wolf at the Train Theater.

Prodigal troubadour Erez Halevi is coming to Beit Avi Chai for his first Israeli performance in twenty years on Saturday night.

Those musical Mormons are at it again on Sunday, hosting the Moran Choir at Brigham Young.

Two women. Many problems. It's a ripe theatrical premise with Alma and Ruth at the Jerusalem Theatre on Sunday.

Monday night is open mic night at Off the Wall Comedy. You think you're funny, punk? Prove it.

Wine! Art! Fire dancers! Marsh Dondurma! Credit card olim! It all comes together Tuesday at the annual Emek Refaim Street Fair.

On Wednesday, Binyanei HaUma will host the Moscow City Ballet, currently touring Israel with its production of Giselle. Don't get too excited - it's not the Bolshoi Ballet, after all - but it's bolshoi enough for our little desert capital.

And as always, you can dig deeper into Jerusalem culture with this coming week's full complement of events. Have a good week!
