Museum Jetsetter

  • Tehillim Museum-tucked away behind a charming old garden lies the Tehillim Museum, a spiritual oasis filled with psychedelically abstract paintings of over 150 psalms.
  • Israel Museum: Silver Exhibition-“German-born silversmiths David Heinz Gumbel (1906–1992) and Ludwig Yehuda Wolpert (1900–1981) were among the first to adapt the modern style, characterized by clean, flowing, and functional forms, to the design of Jewish ceremonial objects. Following their arrival in Israel in the mid-1930s, they numbered among the founders of the New Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts, mentoring generations of students who upheld their stylistic heritage, and changing the very conception of Judaica design.” A must see exhibit depicting the intricacies of silver and their unique craftsmanship.
  • Gush Katif Museum-an amazingly moving representation of the Gush Katif expulsion during the summer of 2005. A doable museum for those of all ages, this tiny museum houses hundreds of artifacts and household items from the residents of the area, tons of works done by artists depicting the frustrations and struggles felt by Gush Katif residents, and a few short films on the area. The only museum in the world on this issue, I highly recommend this museum as a must see for all. Tucked away behind Machane Yehuda makes this museum accessible to all and helps the message of the residents stay alive.
