Below is a photo from the current exhibition at Tmol Shilshom, one of Jerusalem's most iconic and atmospheric cafes. The curators of the exhibit designed and created cut out photos, objects, scribblings, and other objects to display the history of the cafe and Jerusalem's intertwined wider literary culture. Tmol Shilshom is located in the Nahalat Shiva neighborhood of West Jerusalem, tucked away in a small alleyway off bustling Rehov Yafo. It has long been home to many prominent writers and artists in the city. Among them, Aharon Appelfeld, Yehuda Amichai, and S.Y Agnon. Like former long forgotten cafes such as Cafe Atara, Cafe Alaska, and Nitzan Cafe, there still exists the recreated atmosphere of European coffeehouses that were so influential to past Jewish writers. The exhibit will be in place until December 31st.
