For two decades, the Romanian Cultural Circle of Jerusalem, conducted by Leon Volovici and Costel Safirman, generated a milieu in which Romanian language Israeli writers, journalists and artists could exchange ideas, projects and latest publications and subject them to public debate. The current presentation aims at presenting the major debates sparked by these periodical and highly successful events starting from the three-volume series of transcribed “Jerusalem meetings”: Întâlniri la Ierusalim, Noi întâlniri la Ierusalim and O lume văzută de la Ierusalim. The presentation analyzes the debates in their cultural and linguistic milieu, Romanian-language audience in Israel, the major issues approached and their treatment in a space at the convergence between two cultures, Romanian and Israeli.
