Speaking of funding, as chair of the Israel Association of Writers in English, I can remember the days when the government paid for our publications, for our activities, and even for conferences.  But the government pulled out long ago and we’ve been supporting ourselves through sales of our journal at readings.  Unfortunately, Covid cut our readings and our connections and our funding has disappeared.   So we’re in crisis and I’m going to try to ameliorate it tonight at the meeting of the board.  Wish me luck.  And if you take a look at our website here and want to help out, let me know.  my email is gut22@tauex.tau.ac.il. We really do our best to connect Israel with the world.
