- At a time of existential and specific threat to the physical and human environment we live in, architect Nili Portugali takes us on a deeply intimate journey to the Galilean 'Kaballa' holy city of Tzfat in Israel. And the Alley She Whitewashed in Light Blue remembers and imagines a childhood journey that unfolds gradually from her present holistic/Buddhist/scientific point of view. Portugali asks: What is the secret of all the great timeless buildings of the past, villages, tents and temples endowed with beauty and soul in which humans feel 'at home,' and what is the ancient, essential 'art of making' that creates them, in all cultures, in all places and times? Portugali's quest centers on the birthplace and hometown of her family since early 19th century, where her grandmother founded her hotel, in a small stone building around a patio at the end of an alley in the old city that no longer exists. It's a trip through time and memory.
- When delving into the world of Maimonides, the greatest Jewish adjudicator and philosopher in history, one thing becomes clear: if he were to suddenly awake and appear in the State of Israel of 2017, he would most certainly be baffled. Like every myth, and especially one created 800 years ago, everyone today has his own Maimonides, right wing or left wing, intellectuals or rabbis, whether orthodox, religious nationals, or secular. But "The Great Eagle" himself remains partly as mystery; what were his influences? In what language did he speak and think? What were the events that shaped his life? Above all, what remains of his perceptions in Israel and present-day Judaism?

- Overview of the work and aesthetics of the remarkable self-taught painter Shalom of Safed. Shalom Moscpvitz (1887 - 1980) was a religious Jew, born in Safed and raised during the years when Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire. He was a watchmaker and scribe until at age 60 he began to paint. His work immediately attracted attention. He concentrated on moments from Bible history, depicting that history in the context of the world he knew as a youth; for example, young men wear the Turkish fez. He established an international reputation but remained much as he had always been, a humble man from Galilee.
