Back on the home front, drummer Amir Bressler will lead the Liquid Saloon quintet, taking in African rhythms, spacey beats and psychedelic jazz.

“Teddy’s concept is more important today than ever,” Snyder said, as spoke of plans for the cultural, social and economic integration of the various components of the city’s demographic mosaic.

Last Thursday evening, the Springer Auditorium at the Israel Museum was filled to capacity with members of the Rivlin family and their friends.

Many museums throughout the Jewish state will be free on the holiday of Lag Ba'omer.

No one knows how the holiday artifact ended up at the Ben Zvi Institute, but a sharp-eyed Israel Museum employee noticed the seder plate during a workshop.

The sites will be free of charge Sunday-Thursday, April 21-25. Sunday-Wednesday will feature full days of operation, and Thursday will offer a half-day of activity.
