There are so many exciting kids activities this week in Israel. Some highlights include: Hansel & Gretel (Ami and Tami), the Puzzle Library, Micky the Children's Singer, and Pazit and Noni for a puppet show and fantastic kids entertainment in Tel Aviv. 

In Raanana there's the Walk for Benj's House, a must for all families! This week in Story time and Theater, we have Eliezer and the Carrot, The Flower with the Golden Heart, The Story of the Five Balloons, and lots more!

In Jerusalem, I'd see the "Good Night" exhibit at the Israel Museum, and it's free for kids on Tuesdays. I would also take my kids to the Bloomfield Science Museum to see the "Demonstration of Forces and Powers" exhibit and the "See like a Duck" glasses making workshop. They both sound really cool! If you love the story of "Corduroy", try the Train Theater's Production this Tuesday at Liberty Bell Park.
