Food in Rishon Lezion

The Rishon Lezion events calendar revolves around one major stage: more than a third of our events take place at the Culture Center on Jabotinsky Street. The Israel Symphony Orchestra Rishon LeZion also performs there, while the Mofet Cultural Center on Rothschild and the Lake Museum operate nearby.

If you’ve been meaning to go to a concert or performance but didn’t want to travel to Tel Aviv, this is the place. Concerts and performances are represented in roughly equal numbers, and stand-up is also well represented: tribute shows, evenings with Israeli performers, and orchestra programs. Most events are in Hebrew, but approximately one in eight is in Russian.

There are only a handful of free events in the city. About one in six events is for children: kids’ picks.

Where to start: today’s events and the weekend — in Israel, that means Friday and Saturday. Everything is handpicked by volunteers, with no advertising or commercial interests.
