Starting March 6, there will be a wide range of events on the Upper West Side and elsewhere in the New York area celebrating Hebrew — the vibrant language of Israel expressed in its literature, movies, songs and more. Celebrate this old and new language that spans the ancient language of the Bible and the vernacular of modern Israel. This year we will be offering many events in honor of the legendary Israeli writer, playwright and Oscar-nominated movie director Ephraim Kishon (1924-2005).
Hagigah Ivrit is sponsored by The Council for Hebrew Language and Culture in North America, the World Zionist Organization, The Steinhardt Foundation for Jewish Life, and the Israeli-American Council.
