Friday
Besveder festival for the homeless. From 12:00 – 17:00 at Levontin 7. Lots of well established local musicians playing – Yehuda Keisar, Sagol 59, Malka Baya, Zeev Tene, Amir Lev. Many many more. All you need to do to get in is bring a blanket, a sleeping bag or a warm item of clothing (or several, or a bag) to be donated for the homeless. If you want to hear more about it, you can listen to my interview with Sagol 59 on my radio show from yesterday (Sunday). It’s the last interview on the show.
