Open Air Music Theatre, Jerusalem

There are many Festivals and High Holidays in Israel.  This particular photograph was taken after Passover and during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The open-air music theatre and restaurant is situated just off the main section of Jaffe Road in Jerusalem. A jazz concert is playing and dinner is being served. The night air is a balmy 20 degrees and the atmosphere is relaxed. The colourful umbrellas contrast brightly against a black skyline.  

The harp in the water fountain is an interesting show piece, lit up with lights. The Hebrew word kinnor means a harp or lyre and is made famous in the Bible because of David who played it so beautifully in the courts of King Saul. And not only was David an expert harpist, psalmist and composer, but his skill as a musician provided healing music used in relaxation therapy.

So, in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and so many other places in Israel, people eat and fellowship during the many Festivals. No wonder Israel is considered one of the happiest nations on earth.
