Conversations in Hebrew that have ‘done good’
Bringing Israel closer to the community in Australia, at a time when visiting Israel was not possible because of travel restrictions, through conversations.
During the height of lockdown last year, six weekly lectures and discussions in Hebrew were recorded on a range of fascinating topics, excluding the global pandemic.
Project, “Let’s NOT talk about Corona – conversations in Hebrew that do good,” aimed to bring Israel closer to the community in Australia, at a time when visitingIsrael was not possible because of travel restrictions.
The conversations ranged from Anat Yahalom, the only female Israeli soldier severely wounded in the Yom Kippur war, to Gil Hovav, who brought his wonderful sense of humour to his presentation: Adventures of a Food Critic.
The online sessions were free and open to all Israelis and Hebrew-speakers in Australia and around the world, with more than 500 participants logging on to watch.
Supported by the Department of Hebrew and Culture of the World Zionist Organisation, as well as with the support of Zionism Victoria, the series was presented by the Zionist Federation of Australia’s Habayit, the home of Israeli and Hebrew culture.
