The Jerusalem Center for the Performing Arts, still commonly known as the Jerusalem Theater
The Jerusalem Centre for the Performing Arts, located in one of the most beautiful residential neighborhoods in the centre of the city, is the largest and most active cultural center.
Philanthropist Gita and Miles Sherover first came up with the idea of a performing arts centre, which later became a reality through a joint effort with their friend, Mayor Teddy Kollek, and on the drawing board of architect Michael Nadler. In 1971 the Sherover Theatre, with one large hall, opened its doors. A construction of a new wing comprised of three additional halls - funded by a donation from the Crown family of Chicago with the assistance of the Jerusalem Foundation - was completed in 1986.

In addition, the Centre includes spacious foyers, a bookshop, a cafeteria, a restaurant and large plazas outside.
