The Containers House Event
Story, Music, Food...
At the foot of the Judean Hills, in the landscape of Kedumim, sits the Moshav Luzit where the Magnes family built a unique two-story house of four containers. The house is based on ecological principles: recycling, insulation, air flow, solar angles and air directions.
We create a unique hospitality in our home:
- Our personal stories and our encounter
- Lecture on construction - container building (containers)
- A rich musical performance by Ilya Magnes of musical instruments and music from different cultures
- A healthy and tasty meal by Sigal Geva.
In front of the moshav are the Luzit caves, which are bell caves from the Hellenistic period that connect to each other and create halls and huge spaces, including columbariums, crawling caves and underground passages.
Musical performances can be combined in the caves and end with our hospitality and home made meal in our home. Recently, the Israel Nature and National Parks Protection Authority closed the caves for fear of landslides. It is also possible to combine performances in the Beit Guvrin caves, payment at the entrance to the site separately.
Our program includes Ilya Magnes’s fascinating life story, live music , a demonstration on a large variety of instruments which Ilya collected over 20 years of travels (wind, strings and percussion) and the story of our special house, made of 4 shipping containers which Ilya designed and built.
When you come to us, the house is open, and you are welcome to have a look inside in all the rooms. Ask questions etc. and mostly feel free just to be.
You can come for the story and music. It is also possible to have a meal: breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The food is homemade, fresh and healthy. And the best thing… very very tasty :).
