The Jewish Olympics: international sport, unity, resilience
The opening ceremony of the Maccabiah Games is underway in Jerusalem as Israel marks 1,000 days since the Hamas attacks. Organizers highlight resilience while ongoing security concerns loom over the event.
Design Week in Jerusalem unfolds at Hansen House and surrounding venues, mixing sports-inspired art, trophies, and interactive installations. The event runs July 9–16, with free entry and a shuttle linking venues. Highlights include Trophy culture, Bezalel-led poster projects, and the Beitar vs. Hapoel fan-vs-fan video installation, alongside a Beit Shemesh garden of urban design.
