Four entered the Orchard (PaRDeS): Ben Azzai, Ben Zoma, Aher and Rabbi Akiva. One peeked and died; one peeked and was smitten; one peeked and cutdown the shoots; one ascended safely and descended safely.

LABA Festival performances, gallery exhibitions, and other events will take place from April 11 to April 18. For a full schedule, please click here.

December/ Tevet 2009
I am thrilled to join the LABA team as we launch our second year with a new group of artists, an enhanced gallery space in our newly renovated lobby, and a series of exciting events. On Monday, December 21, we will feature a reading of LABA fellow David Deblinger’s play NEUROTICA at the 14th Street Y Theater at 7:30pm. A dark comedy on love with song, rap and magic, NEUROTICA explores the relationship between our unconscious (the voices in our head), to what we call the occult, and how the ones we are most attracted to can be those who might just kill us. Email becky_skoff@14streety.org to reserve a seat.
January 7-28, the 14th Street Y Gallery will be featuring a new exhibition, LABA’s Guests, by Israeli artists Tamar Hirschi, Leor Grady, Hadasa Goldvicht, Tamar Ettun, Keren Cytter, Itamar Jobani, Yael Rechter, Rona Yefman, Shay Kun, and more.
