Beit-HaGefen Arab-Jewish Cultural Center

A municipal cultural centre at the edge of Wadi Nisnas, run since 1963 to encourage Arab-Jewish dialogue through theatre, exhibitions, and education. The building hosts a gallery, an Arabic-Hebrew library, and a small theatre.

The Holiday of Holidays festival in December is the year's flagship event and the easiest moment to see the building at full pitch, with street art and food stalls covering the surrounding alleys.

A story
Beit-HaGefen runs the annual Holiday of Holidays festival each December — three weeks of joint Christian, Muslim, and Jewish events that cover the streets of Wadi Nisnas in installations and turn the neighbourhood into a small open-air gallery.
