Meeting point

Wandering through the alleys will introduce us to the people and places of Ein Hod.

In the artists' village of Ein Hod, we will visit artists of all kinds, see their work, and perhaps even try our hand at it ourselves.

Tour structure:

In the print room, you can discover techniques such as lithography, litho = stone, graphy = print, printing on stone.

New techniques such as printing from recycled materials.

You can try your hand at engraving, choosing colors, and creating your own design, which can then be reproduced in multiple copies.

The entire place is an experience and a discovery of a lesser-known technique.

What is a section of the Berlin Wall doing in Ein Hod? The Berlin Wall, which separated the eastern and western parts of the city, was torn down by its residents in 1989, and only a few sections remain from the destruction wrought by its residents.

This piece was brought to an exhibition in Israel, and it was decided to purchase it and keep it as a historical cultural artifact and in memory of the family of the late Ze'ev Yalon, a member of the Yanko Dada Museum's management. His mother, Perl Yablonka, and his two sisters, Dvora and Chaya, perished behind the walls of the Warsaw Ghetto in April 1943.

Ein Hod was founded by Marcel Janco, one of the world's most important artists. He was part of Cabaret Voltaire, which invented the global Dada movement.

Marcel moved to Israel and stopped his artistic activities in Europe. Thanks to him, we have Ein Hod and the Janco Dada Museum named after him.

Dadaism originated in Switzerland in 1916, an avant-garde art movement that calls for abstract art in paintings, sculptures, and any object we know. Next to the Yanko Dada Museum is the Maabada, a wonderful place for children where they can produce and create works in the spirit of Dadaism.

Artists of all kinds reside in the artists' village of Ein Hod, including Dan Chamizer, Israel's champion riddle master.

The glasses he made at the entrance to the village were called "Itcha's glasses," named after Itcha Mambush, the legendary man who, together with Marcel Yanko, founded the village when it seemed that no one would want to live in a place with no infrastructure and no connection to a main road.

That same Itcha from Mambush was a man of action and practicality, and always saw the future through rose-colored glasses, with optimism.

Wandering through the alleys of the picturesque village of Ein Hod is the most enjoyable thing to do. If you are lucky enough to come across an open and inviting gallery, enjoy your stay there.

On the tour with me, we will of course decide in advance which galleries to visit and get to know the villagers and their works up close.

Besides, Ein is a unique village because only artists live there.

The view is breathtaking every time. The Atlit Fortress can be seen from here, surrounded by the Mediterranean forest of the Carmel, streams, and the sea on the horizon.

Life here was not always easy. There was no electricity or infrastructure, and many of the first residents who were brought here to settle did not last. Until Marcel Janco decided to establish an artists' village here, which has certainly endured and continues to exist to this day.

The picturesque village of Ein Hod is a Muslim village belonging to the Abu al-Hija clan, which numbered about 700 people and originally lived in the village of Ein Hod.

After 1948, only about 150 people remained in the village, settling a few meters above Ein Hod.

For years, they called themselves Kfar Abu al-Hija, remaining cut off from electricity, infrastructure, medical services, education, and more. Until they appealed to Interior Minister Deri, saying that if the state did not recognize them as a settlement, they would change the name of the settlement to Ein Hod—in order to confuse and reignite the debate on the conflict.

Today, the village has 80 households, two excellent restaurants, several guesthouses, and many mosques. The village is beautiful, and staying there is pleasant even in summer.

The exceptional musician Tal Coleman writes: "Music is a universal language that embraces everything. It bridges all gaps and brings us home. And since we are made of music, everyone can make music with themselves, with other people, and even with trees and flowers. Don't believe it? Come and try it."

We will meet her for a magical hour in which we will discover many special things.
