A Special encounter with Author Haim Be’er at the exhibition Reuven Rubin: Be my Guest (in Hebrew)

An opportunity to take part in a unique and inspiring encounter with acclaimed Israeli author Haim Be’er and the exhibition curator, Dalit Matatyahu

Be’er, whose literary work frequently explores diverse facets of Hebrew identity and the tensions between traditional and secular Judaism, will focus on one of Rubin’s most layered and evocative works — Dancers of Meron, 1926.
At the center of the conversation will be the dancing Hasid, the landscape of the Land of Israel, and the dual
yearning: for a lost world on one hand, and for the vision of renewal on the other.
The meeting will invite a rich discussion on sacred and secular, spirit and matter, art and story — as they intertwine both in Rubin’s brush and Be’er’s pen.

About the exhibition:

Rubin museum at the Tel Aviv museum of art.
During the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, ballistic missiles struck across the country, wreaking havoc. The Rubin Museum, former home of Reuven Rubin, was damaged by the shockwave of a missile explosion on a nearby street, and Rubin’s paintings were evacuated to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art for safekeeping. Their hurried arrival at TAMA introduced a rare institutional moment: a selection of Rubin’s works from the Museum's collection was reunited with those usually housed in the city’s historic center, resulting in a resonant encounter between a major collection of Israeli art and the singular legacy of a prominent, original painter.
