Founded in 1964, Batsheva is a globally recognized dance company, spearheading a renowned contemporary program which stands at the forefront of the local and international dance world. As Israel’s largest dance company, Batsheva stages 250 performances annually for more than 100,000 spectators, tours extensively and offers educational programming for young dancers. Marking the company’s 60th anniversary (2025) Batsheva, the Tel Aviv Foundation, and the Municipality of Tel Aviv-Yafo partnered to establish a multi-disciplinary Arts Campus at the historic Old Central Bus Station in the Neve Sha’anan area of Tel Aviv. With the support of a $5 million Mandel Foundation gift, the campus will include the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Hall for Performing Arts as well as a municipal center for Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewish culture, placing an emphasis on public arts programs and diverse resident engagement.
