• The wise men of Chelm are not so wise, and neither are you if you miss the play based on the satirical Chasidish stories at the Khan Theater tonight.

• Shabbats are starting later, which means there's enough time in the afternoon to catch HaMa'abada's double feature of music and stage before lighting the candles. This week the play "Meeting Brain Wash," and band Middle Hays hit the Lab.

• If the Jerusalem Post is correct, you won't be able to stay away from Boris Melamed's brand of irresistible offbeat comedy at Off The Wall Comedy Basement Saturday night. If they are right. Also appearing David Schmidt.

• If you can figure out Brigham Young University's incredibly convoluted ticket ordering system, then reward yourself by checking out their spring concert series Sunday. On the menu: Mendelssohn's Psalm 42.

• Monday night and Tuesday mark Yom Hashoah, when the nation stops to mourn and remember the six million killed in the Holocaust. The new movie "Defiance" goes against the sheep led to slaughter narrative and tells the story of the Bielsky brothers, who fought back against the Nazis. The movie will be screened at the Jerusalem Theater Monday night.

• It's been nearly 10 years since the death of Meir Ariel, who changed Israeli music with his album Rishumei Pacham (Coal Sketches). The LP is brought back to life with a live concert at the Yellow Submarine Wednesday night.
