Happy just to sit hereA Friday morning concert at Ticho House is a beautiful thing. We enter the front door of the house, walk up a few stairs to pay 40 shekels (about $10) for a ticket. We then ascend the gracefully spiraled wooden staircase to reach the second floor. We look around for a few moments and find a seat. It's a good thing we arrived early because the room fills up quickly. The sun streams through the windows; the drawings of Anna Ticho surround us with visions of Jerusalem’s natural beauty. We are happy just to sit here and the concert has not even started yet. After all, to get here we had to navigate through crowds of Jerusalemites completing their last minute shopping before the stores close for Shabbat. It is the storm before the calm. But, we are one step ahead. Finally, the concert begins. The room fills with strains of Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin. Isn’t it completely beautiful? Didn’t I tell you?
