בית ליסין, Cultural center in Tel Aviv, Israel

Beit Lessin is a cultural center in central Tel Aviv housed in a modern building designed by architects Benjamin Idelson and Arieh Sharon. The venue features multiple performance halls with different capacities to accommodate various types of shows and productions.

The cornerstone of Beit Lessin was laid in May 1949, and the building opened in December 1953 as a "culture house for workers" named after the Yiddish poet and journalist Abraham Lessin. Its construction was funded by a $100,000 donation raised by the Jewish Labor Committee in America. From 1980 to 2003 it housed the Beit Lessin Theater; the building was demolished on 15 February 2018 for a luxury residential tower.

The building is named after Avraham Lissin, a Yiddish poet and journalist and friend of Zionism, and opened in December 1953 as a "house of culture for workers". Its hall hosted lectures, symposia, recitals and film screenings, while the other wing held the Labour Archive, the Sirkis library, the Avshalom Institute and municipal and pedagogical libraries. A workers' restaurant served subsidised cooked meals.

The center sits in a central location with good access to public transportation, making visits convenient. Check the official website for information about current shows and events before planning your trip.

The building was demolished on 15 February 2018 to make way for a luxury residential tower called Migdal Beit Lessin. Before that, its top floor housed HaMartef HaElyon, a performance club where artists played to small audiences for many years.
