Mekudeshet Team 2021
Our team reflects the range of Jerusalem’s communities, giving us deep and organic connections to the ground. While we ascribe to disparate opinions and ideologies, we work to better understand one another every day, to discuss differences honestly and in good faith, and to see our diversity as inspiration and raw material for new creations. We are united by a passion for art and Jerusalem.
