Vision

  • To create a cultural bridge between Jewish writers from all over the world.
  • To present Jewish literature written outside Israel to Israeli readers and to introduce new Israeli writers and literature to Jews all over the world.
  • To support mutual translations of Jewish literature.

Activity

The prize is divided between a Jewish writer from abroad, and a young Israeli writer endowed with a great talent and a unique voice. The latter should be socially involved and committed to dealing with core social issues related to the Jewish world.

In every conference we choose as winners of the prize one Hebrew writer, and one who writes in a foreign language, this time in French.
