HAIFA HOSTS MULTIFAITH "HOLIDAY OF HOLIDAYS" FESTIVAL THROUGH DECEMBER 2010

New York - November 30, 2010: Beginning on December 3, the Northern Israeli city of Haifa will play host to the "Holiday of Holidays" festival--a month-long celebration featuring four consecutive weekends filled with Chanukah, Christmas and Eid al-Adha themed-activities. The main attraction of the festival, "Neighbors," will feature sculptures, paintings and installations documenting the lives of Jewish, Christian and Muslim residents in an open-air style exhibition throughout Haifa. The display will begin at the Beit HaGefen Center and spread into the alleyways, gardens, courtyards and stone walls of the city's Wadi Nisnas neighborhood, and feature works by multi-generational Israeli and international artists.   The festival will also present various events throughout the culturally diverse neighborhoods in Haifa, including a photography exhibition by Ziv Koren at the Haifa City Museum and various city bus stations; live musical performances in the Wadi Nisnas and German Colony districts; a Christmas tree-lined boulevard with festive lights and decorations; and an antiques fair; and an international writers' convention. The festival will also provide travelers with free entry to all museums around the city on Fridays and Saturdays. "The Holiday of Holiday Festivals is a one-of-a-kind event that will celebrate the diverse cultures throughout Haifa," says Haim Gutin, Israel Commissioner for Tourism, North and South America. "And will provide some additional excitement for travelers arriving in the port town this December."  Also, the festival will include 18 liturgy music concerts at various churches throughout the city, including a performance by Israeli and international artists at the Yochanan HaMatbil New Greek Orthodox Church, as well as a National Antiques fair in the halls of Beit HaGefen and an arts and crafts fair in Wadi Nisnas.
