Humans have always told stories: invented plots, built characters, created tension, captivated audiences. This is true of the time when we still lived in caves and sat around the fire listening to stories, and it has been true for many years in the book format. The Mifal HaPais Sapir Prize for Literature honours the best writers and books with the award. For 25 years, the best of our storytellers have won this prestigious award. This evening is dedicated to them.

The extensive garden of the Hansen House in Jerusalem, the special spaces found in this architectural gem – will form the backdrop for the story we will tell. The audience will be able to wander, meeting Etgar Keret, Arkadi Duchin, and Daniel Koren amongst many others.

Spurs is an evening celebrating the written word and its connection to various arts. It allows for physical, emotional, and conceptual wandering between words, sounds, and images. Spurs is the living version of the act of reading – deep, imaginative, and extremely experiential.
