Na Laga'At Center

The Na Laga’at Center ("Please Touch" in Hebrew) is a vibrant, one-of-a-kind cultural center that provides an equal stage for meeting between deaf, blind and those that are both deaf and blind and the wide public. Since its establishment in 2007, the Center has been home to Na Laga’at Theater – the only theater in the world whose actors are deaf, blind and deaf-blind individuals; BlackOut Restaurant – Israel's only dark restaurant, offering full gourmet meals in complete darkness, served by waiters who are either blind or vision impaired; Kapish Events - where guests communicate in sign language with waiters who are either deaf or hearing impaired; the Workshop Center - offering a range of workshops in either darkness or full light, led by deaf, blind and deafblind instructors and the School of Performing Arts - Drama school for the deaf and the blind. The Na Laga’at Center is a nonprofit organization, channeling all its resources toward preserving its uniqueness as a cultural center, enhancing its social message, and serving as a leading place of employment for deaf, blind, and deaf-blind individuals. Since its inception, the Center has welcomed more than a million visitors. Thanks to its unique activities, the Center has won a range of prestigious cultural and social awards, including the Genesis Prize, courtesy of violinist Itzhak Perlman, and an award for generating social impact from the global Fair Saturday Movement.
