Culture
Nowadays this relatively small village serves as a community center for smaller neighboring villages as well. The community center includes the music conservatory, which is becoming a cultural home for many different types of music. This month, there was a 3-hour concert in honor of 250 years since Mozart's birth, in which several artists performed, including two pianists from abroad and the Ashdod Chamber Orchestra. The conservatory concerts have also included: Big Band, Spanish guitar, children composers, and full operas.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“It is not part of a true culture to tame tigers, any more than it is to make sheep ferocious.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“With respect to a true culture and manhood, we are essentially provincial still, not metropolitan,—mere Jonathans. We are provincial, because we do not find at home our standards; because we do not worship truth, but the reflection of truth; because we are warped and narrowed by an exclusive devotion to trade and commerce and manufacturers and agriculture and the like, which are but means, and not the end.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.”
—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
