Accessibility Accommodations at the Theater

Habima Theater is committed to accessibility. As Israel’s national theater, we believe that all our visitors are entitled to enjoy full access to all the theater’s facilities and services. The theater is prepared to make its building, service counters, halls, and performances more accessible in order to provide all its visitors with a positive and accessible experience that includes sensitive and fair service, and we are working to make the theater more accessible in a process that will occupy us over the coming years in the following areas:

Accessibility for the Building and the Paths Leading to It

• All public entrances to the theater(except for the back entrance, which is the employee’s entrance) are accessible.
• We have developed a fully accessible system for all parts of the theater, from entrances to seats reserved for people with disabilities.
• The theater can be reached via an accessible path from the following public transportation stops:

-Sderot Ben Tsiyon/Habima stop (lines 39 and 63)
