On Tour in Jerusalem

The Arts Hour

Available for over a year

The Arts Hour on Tour is in Jerusalem - to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah and the prophet Muhammad's birthday, in the Holy city - whose ancient religious sites resonate in the hearts of Christians, Jews and Muslims everywhere. This special programme recorded live in front of an audience features Israeli Hip Hop/funk band Hadag Nahash performing alongside Palestinian rapper Muhammad Mughrabi and Armenian singer Apo Sahagian. The organisers of the Jerusalem Season of Culture, Itay Mautner and Riman Barakat discuss the hottest local cultural issues with Israel’s Big Brother winner, Shifra Cornfeld. Plus there’s comedy from Benji Lovitt, and a star guest interview with Lior Raz - writer, creator and star of hit Israeli television drama, Fauda - about undercover military operations in the occupied territories Photo: The skyline of Jerusalem, Credit: AFP/Getty Images
