A new Israeli record was set last week when some 50 literary events were held throughout the Chanukah holiday. The Omanut La\'Am (Culture for the Nation) Association sponsored the events in dozens of outlying communities, including Judea, Samaria, and Gaza and even Ben-Yehuda St. in Jerusalem. The happenings included meetings with authors, writing workshops, story-telling, literary tours, poetry recitals, and more.
