The third Israel Festival opened at the Binyane Haooma in Jerusalem on the 16th of July, 1963. As in previous years, guests from many lands participated in staging the event, but on this occasion the main aim was to stress the Israeli-Jewish character of the Festival. Biblical themes dominated the musical presentations from around the world and a special evening was devoted to cantorial and other Jewish religious music.
