Highly recommend Ticho House בית טיכו to include in your Jerusalem program this Sukkot.
Ticho House is special because it is an art museum and cultural center located in a historic building in Jerusalem, Israel. The building itself, named after the Ticho family who lived there in the early 20th century, is a beautiful example of traditional Jerusalem architecture and has been preserved and restored to its original state. The museum houses a collection of art by local and international artists, as well as hosting exhibitions, cultural events, and educational programs. Ticho House also has a serene garden, providing visitors with a tranquil and cultural experience in the heart of Jerusalem.

Above all, the house and gardens are tranquil and gorgeous, making it a little oasis in an otherwise chaotic section...
