An immersive vocal journey in the Ein Kerem forest led by Noam Enbar with the “The Great Gehenna Choir” and friends


Close your eyes and get ready to listen. Close your eyes and let sounds sweep you away.

As you enter the forest, Noam Enbar and 24 members of the Great Gehenna Choir will cover your eyes and gently lead you into a separate reality. Freed of visual images, replete with audio stimuli and suffused with personal and communal fervor.

Blindsight is an all-encompassing creation constructed out of a hypnotic, humorous and enrapturing playlist. It is a vitality-infusing ceremony for multiple participants in which each member of the audience receives personal and sensitive attention and is invited to take part in a journey in which meticulously crafted sounds guide you through the darkness.

“The Great Gehenna Choir” was established three years ago in Jerusalem as an alternative to the more traditional concept of a “choir.” The choir performs transformative contemporary ceremonies and its members work and create in full partnership..

Blindsight, which was created by Noam Enbar in collaboration with composer Yonatan Levy and members of the choir, proposes a new way to listen to, draw strength and experience joy through music.
