Books of Belarus
 Year by year the Minsk book exhibition attracts more and more visitors and participants. This time 619 representatives from 26 countries have displayed their stands. This year France has become a guest of honor of the 17th International Minsk Book Exhibition “Books of Belarus 2010”. In 2008 this honorary mission fell to Israel's lot. Everyday program of the exhibition includes interesting meetings, presentations, and burning literature disputes. Within the framework of Israel program there was organized a meeting with Mark Golesnik who is a popular writer, satirist, playwright and a chief editor of the satiric magazine “Beseder?”; February 11, on the exhibition opening day, Irene Obolsky who is a famous Israeli artist held a workshop. More than 150 books published in Belarus in the years of 2008 and 2009 were displayed at the Israeli stand. Publication of many of them was supported by the JDC. All these books were presented at the 11th Jewish Book Community Festival and are now available at the libraries of the Jewish Community Center “Emunah”, the Welfare Jewish Fund “Hesed–Rakhamim&rdq uo; and the Museum of Jewish History and Culture in the Minsk Jewish Campus.
