About

Na Laga’at Center is a one-of-a-kind cultural and creative arts center, serving as a leading and innovative model for the integration of people with disabilities into society. It provides a platform for equal encounters between deaf, blind, and deaf-blind individuals and the general public.

Since its establishment in 2007, the center has been operating:

Na Laga’at Theater – provides the audience with a powerful artistic and social experience. The theater stars creative, independent, and joyful deaf, blind, and deaf-blind actors who are happy to give the seeing and hearing audience a wonderful gift – the gift of art.

BlackOut Restaurant – a kosher chef restaurant where you eat in complete darkness! The dishes are served by blind and visually impaired waiters. The combination of the delicious food, the inventions in the dark, and the meeting with the waiters and their life stories creates an exciting and unforgettable experience.

Kapish Event Space – where guests communicate in sign language with a staff of deaf and hard of hearing waiters.

Workshops Center – a variety of workshops in the dark and light led by deaf, blind, and deaf-blind instructors.

Performing Arts Learning Center – a center for acting studies for deaf, hard of hearing, blind, and visually impaired people.

We are happy to invite you to a unique artistic experience that includes a diverse cultural journey.

Vision of the Center

Training people who are deaf and hard of hearing, blind and visually impaired, and deaf-blind for careers in performing arts and hospitality.

Employment of people with hearing and visual impairments.

Raising public awareness of blindness and deafness through activities that integrate deaf and hard of hearing people, blind and visually impaired people, and deaf-blind people, and activities that provide a sensory experience of blindness and deafness. All this while creating encounters between the general public and deaf and hard of hearing people, blind and visually impaired people, and deaf-blind people.

Inculcating values of openness, tolerance, acceptance, and recognition of diversity.
