The Lecture Series Tour "Einstein at the Corner of Bialik": A Singing Tour Following in the Footsteps of Arik Einstein and Poets’ Songs

“Einstein Corner Bialik”: A Singing Tour Following Arik Einstein and Poets’ Songs

Guide: Yonatan Ashkenazi. Accordionist: Uzi Rosenblatt | 7.4.27

A singing tour through the streets of Tel Aviv, following Arik Einstein and the poets whose voices were given new life through his performances. An accordionist will accompany us throughout the day, and between the stops we will sing, hear stories, and discover how Einstein succeeded in bringing Hebrew poetry closer to the general public and turning poets’ songs into a shared cultural treasure. We will begin at the Habima complex, getting to know his theatrical side and the story of the White City. We will continue to Bialik Street and City Hall Square, following Haim Nahman Bialik and his poems, including “Take Me Under Your Wing.” In the area of Dizengoff Square, we will meet the poets of Tel Aviv’s bohemian scene—Avraham Halfi and Natan Alterman—and recall beloved songs such as “Your Brow Adorned” and “A Meeting Without End.” From there, we will continue to the Yarkon and conclude with a nostalgic walk at Tel Aviv Port. Along the route, the streets, stories, and words will connect with Arik Einstein’s unique voice and with the Tel Aviv that was his home, the landscape of his life, and a central source of inspiration in his work.
