The Nalaga'at ("please touch" in Hebrew) nonprofit center is a stage for arts and culture that promotes an equal dialogue and leads to social change, with the belief in the human spirit and its ability to touch and to make a difference.

It takes a certain type of person to experience Nalagaat Center--a person open to new experiences and open to explore new attitudes and experiences. We often take for granted our vision and hearing; however, an experience at Nalagaat Center teaches us NOT to take those gifts for granted. And, provides a bit of understanding and insight into those who are less able than we. It is truly a moving experience and one which is worth having. Give up a few hours of looking at museum pieces--give up a few hours of listening to a symphony and engage in a few hours with those who can't see or hear at Nalagaat.…

If you are not acquainted with Nalagaat Center - in a few words (garnered from their website - they say it so much better than I can) : Nalaga’at is a non-profit cultural and arts center for the Deaf (hearing and vocally impaired and blind)… The center has an events center, gives workshops, has a BlackOut Restaurant (the only dark restaurant in Israel - and one of about 15 in the world!) , and is known for its marvelous theatre.

The theatre productions have the dialogue with surtitles in various languages including English, If you haven't been then Not by Bread Alone should be the first production you see and if you've seen it check out their website for more.. (including Children of a Lesser God!)…

Nalaga'at (means "please touch") theater, where the main actors are deaf and blind. They shared their stories and their dreams. An emotional and powerful experience, especially as one is invited to come on stage at the end and interact personally with all the actors with the help of sign language interpreters. We all learned some signs and more importantly we witnessed human courage and compassion and hope. Highly recommended.…
