Beit Avi Chai presents “Ma’aseh Tuvya”: A musical journey in the footsteps of physician Tobias Cohn (1652-1729), in honor of the 300th anniversary of the publication of his book.

The life of “Tobias the Physician” was full of travel and mystery. His book Ma’aseh Tuvya (Venice, 1708) is testimony to the rich life of his times. It is an encyclopedic work that covers theology, astronomy, medicine and hygiene, botany, geography, and more.

This musical project is directly bound up with the book and with Tobias Cohn’s extensive travels.

Video art will be shown during the evening.
