The Village Tour with Dan Ben-Arye

Our experience in Ein Hod is one that revolves around the warmth and hospitality of its artistic community. Here people are open about what they like to do, their life's work. Whether the medium is conveyed on canvas or through fermentation does little to dampen everyone's enthusiasm to share their art with anyone from a bus load of teens to shoppers from across the net and therefore the world. Even the mountain air, the view, the settlement's history, and proximity to the beach seem to be seen as worth sharing here as shown by the gracious hospitality we received. Here everyone has a story, and perhaps for the simple reason that in Ein Hod emotion and personality are so commonly expressed through mediums beyond simple speech, we feel drawn close to this place and its people.

Although the big city of Haifa is only a 15 minute drive away, the art community of Ein Hod feels worlds away in its seclusion, serenity and overall aura. When our group first arrived, we were shown around various galleries and introduced to the artists that displayed them. It was clear to us already that Ein Hod was a unique place where all kinds of art was not only welcomed, but celebrated. What appealed to me especially was the way every artist's house acts as a studio for them to work and a gallery to display it in. Upon leaving Ein Hod, I thought to myself how great it would be to stay for a long while or possibly even live in this incredible artistic oasis.

My first impression of Ein Hod was rain. To most people, this would imply dreary discomfort. It seemed, however, that the village not only was undisturbed by the rain, but in fact embraced it. The energy of Ein Hod lends itself to any sort of weather, being alternately cheerful, melancholy, intense, or any number of other emotions. The art you see everywhere you turn is inspiring, the people welcoming, and the atmosphere intoxicating. Between pottery, silk screening, sculptures, paintings and (of course) good food, I have felt Ein Hod capture my senses and my heart.
