About H.C.G.
HISTORY
Following some 10 years of Bible Study,the Herzliya Cultural Group (HCG) was established in 2015 by a few volunteers to provide a varied range of cultural activities for English speaking Residents and Visitors. We were fortunate to secure facilities in the luxurious 7 Stars Residence in Herzlyia Pituach. Our first Lectures attracted some 15 attendees since when it has grown considerably with our summer 2020 zoom series attracting over 3,000 viewers.LECTURES
These cover a wide range of topics including religion, history, politics, music, the arts, health & wealth. We have been able to secure many outstanding Speakers & Personalities as well as numerous ‘first timers’ bringing new and challenging topics. A number of our previous programs can be viewed (see our Previous Lecture Program Page). Our Lectures are usually on Thursday mornings and we arrange regular trips to places of interest.
