Yeshiva Week Arts & Crafts Workshops

Art Workshops are a great family activity for a Winter trip to Jerusalem. All of the workshops we recommend are run by artists who have opened up their studios to tourists. Many of the workshops have an Israeli or Judaic theme, making them unique experiences.

These activities should be reserved in advance.
