I don't think that the detailed attachment will come through, so I won't post it, but I just received an announcement from the IAWE (Israel Association of Writers in English) about this upcoming event that is very much of interest in this context:
"Our opening IAWE event for 2002–2003 is 'Insider/Outsider: Writing in English about Israel,' featuring Ayelet Tsabari and Omer Friedlander, on Zoom." As mentioned on the IAWE website (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.iawe.org.il/__;!!KGKeukY!3IZYnRJXz77FaZ46F2sJcB4Uar7Ef2h5TrITme7EkVhmnToyigiSg8OoOgDJ7B787ZkNVnls1pRoS7XmK_Ws$ ), this event will take place October 27 at 7pm Israel time. Join the mailing list as invited on the website to receive additional information.
