While Omer was studying jazz, Itai went to Africa to research various rhythmical instruments such as Balafon and Djembe. The band has later expanded this aspect by engaging the Ethiopian singer Hewan as a permanent guest. She is complementing the fusion of electro, drum’n’base, trance and jazz with her R’n’B rhythms. Sounds intriguing, right?

Culinary Art
Gastronomy is one of the strongest lures of Jerusalem. There are even maps of Middle East, dividing the region by the spices used for falafel. Since its first year, the Days of Jerusalem have been presenting the Jerusalem cuisine at its best: traditional as well as contemporary recipes by Israeli and Palestinian chefs have been an indispensable part of the festival. This year, Jerusalem cuisine will be presented from a new angle – the focus will be on vegan and vegetarian dishes. Veganism is an important phenomenon of the Jerusalem gastro scene. After all, many of the local famous treats – such as hummus, sabih, and salads – are vegan.

“Jerusalem design if fascinating in two ways for me: in some ways, it is different from the Czech one – for instance the pieces made in cooperation of Jewish and Arab women have a really strong story behind them. At the same time though, it is very similar to the Czech one – it has a strong sense of humor and it’s done with a wonderful workmanship,” says Michala, the founder of Kuráž. “Come to compare the two scenes by yourself. This might even be a beginning of a long-term cooperation between Kuráž and Jerusalem designers!”
One thing is for sure: both Kuráž and Days of Jerusalem are the ultimate meeting places at Prague 7.
