Street Activity on Emek Refaim

Emek Refaim Street in the German Colony (near Baka) took on new life at night, as performance artists lined the streets this past week.

I think everyone knows this ragtime band.


Modern dance.



Music.



Probably the youngest performers on the street.

A Passage Through

As I’m driving down Emek Refaim Street, I was trying to figure out, when (and why) did they put up a guardhouse to the entrance of that particular courtyard.

And what a strange guardhouse it was. There was no gate to block the way - people could walk right through it. And people were hanging out all around the guardhouse, even sitting on chairs someone had conveniently placed there.

I looked again, and realized that the “guardhouse” was actually a café that they built right in the middle of the entrance. Definitely different. I’m gonna have to check it out.

Where did they hide Emek Refaim?

Emek Refaim is the SoHo of Jerusalem. Restaurants, cafes, and artsy stores intermingling all along this super-busy main street of the German Colony. But this week it is impossible to see any restaurants or cafes as their sukkas took over all the sidewalks in front.
