Making Literature Travel

The  Institute for the Translation of Hebrew Literature (ITHL) was founded in 1962 to acquaint foreign readers with the best of modern Hebrew literature. Over the years, the range of its activities has expanded far beyond translation. Concurrently, and largely in response to the work of ITHL, international interest in Hebrew literature has grown significantly. At present, Hebrew literature is published in 72 languages. More information about the ITHL’s activities can be found on their website.
