For the third consecutive year, Israel participated with a national display in the Boston Globe Book Festival. The Israeli exhibit last week, under the auspices of the Israeli Consulate General in Boston, was the focus of considerable public interest. On display were hundreds of books, in both English and Hebrew, covering all aspects of life in the State of Israel and a variety of topics of Jewish interest. The majority of the literary works on exhibit were sent by a number of well-known Israeli publishing houses, through the cooperation of the Israeli Book Publishers Association and the Israel Ministry for Foreign Affairs. American publishers also displayed books dealing with Israel and topics of specific Jewish interest.
