Ride to support making the city friendly to bicycles and their owners today at 10 a.m. at Safra Square. The ride will be at an even pace and the goal is to hang out, eat and discuss ways that Jerusalem can become greener and better for those who cycle. Please join Jerusalem Cyclists on Facebook to learn more.

The Jerusalem Cinematheque launches a new line of affordable movies ("Friday at Ten") each Friday at 10 p.m. for NIS 10. The public is invited to enjoy the latest films with the 2020 comedy, Palm Springs. The film takes the well-established concept of characters placed in a time-loop (1993's Groundhog Day being the most noted example of this plot-device) to explore what would they (and we) do if our actions suddenly no longer mattered. Starring Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti as the wedding guests who beat their breasts (as well as those of anyone else around) to escape the time-loop. This 90-minute comedy is a safe bet at bargain-basement prices.

Roni Packer will present works inspired by American abstract painting and Tomer Rosental will present paintings done under the exhibition title of "Midnight."

Jerusalem Artists House, 12 Shmuel Hanagid St. Sat 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mon, Tue, Wed and Thu from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free, only those presenting a Green Pass will be admitted.

SUNDAY OCTOBER 10:

Try the hummus at Nazmi/Arafat Hummus at 49 Shuk Ha-Zurfim in the Old City (the Muslim Quarter). In a country where hummus is almost a religion, this eatery is considered one of the best. There is no sign outside; this is more of a stand. Come early in the morning to ensure you get some hummus.

MONDAY OCTOBER 11:

Enjoy the greatest hits of 1970's black music with MissBehave, the all-female Tel Aviv-based band now bringing the groove to the Holy City: the magic of Marvelettes ("Please Mr. Postman"), Mary Wells ("My Guy") and the Supremes ("You Can't Hurry Love"). The...
