Things slow down a bit in Jerusalem during the winter, as the sun sets earlier, the temperature drops and outdoor activities become a little less practical.

That doesn't mean, however, that we can't enjoy a good outdoor activity. That's why they invented the Winter Noise Festival - Shaon Horef, now in its fifth year.

Every Monday during the month of February, a different part of the city hosts an array of music concerts, dance shows, art exhibitions, film screenings, poetry readings and wine tasting classes. The festival lights up the city and warms up the souls of its inhabitants in various magical and undiscovered bars, bookshops, cafes, clothes shops and grocery stores.
