Hebrew Music Museum and Mechane Yehuda - 25 Feb

Ah- rain!  Yes is was predicted and as any Israeli says - we need and pray for every drop.  And, so CAARI  endured these precious droplets! 



Our first stop was the newly opened, in the past 3 years , of the Hebrew Music Museum - a real gem and CAARI takes us to 'hidden gems"! 

The museum displays musical instruments from across the world, ancient and modern,  and allowed us  to enjoy hearing their sounds and learning about the instruments history.

Our guide was delightful and so knowledgeable.
