The poet Yehuda Amichai and the author Yeshurun Keshet were the joint recipients of the Bialik Prize for literature. The prize for Jewish wisdom–Chochmat Yisrael–went to Benjamin Kosovski for his monumental masterpiece of publishing the treasures of Talmudic literature and his annotations to the Bamidbar and Devarim (Numbers and Deuteronomy). The IL 3000 prize, given annually by the Tel Aviv municipality, was presented Thursday night at Beth Sokalow by Mayor Shlomo Lahat.
