  • HaMiffal cultural center in Jerusalem celebrates 10 years of community-focused creation.
  • The center, co-directed by Doron Gallia-Kind and Neta Meisels, marked its anniversary with a diverse program including music and a sculpture reprise.
  • Located in a tranquil oasis despite nearby construction, HaMiffal has become a hub for artistic and social activities.

HaMiffal, a cultural center in Jerusalem, is celebrating a decade of fostering community-oriented creation. Despite the surrounding urban construction, the center offers a sense of tranquility and positive energy.

Artistic director Doron Gallia-Kind and general director Neta Meisels have guided HaMiffal for the past two years. The institution marked its 10th anniversary on August 13 with a program featuring the Great Gehenna Choir, the ensemble project Castle in Time, and a restaging of Max Epstein's "Yeshivat Tzevet" (Staff Meeting) sculpture. This sculpture originally depicted the center's founding staff members.

Gallia-Kind views HaMiffal as a "home away from home." The celebration is described as a "rolling celebration" for the center's 10 years of existence, reflecting its ever-evolving nature. The venue, situated on a narrow alley off Agron Street, provides a peaceful retreat from the city's noise, with a yard featuring a fountain that enhances the serene atmosphere.

We’re making a fuss of our 10 years of existence as a sort of rolling celebration.
