Ukrainian Jewish Encounter is a long-standing sponsor of the Meridian Czernowitz International Poetry Festival, which took place this year on 3\u20135 September 2021.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s festival was held in a \"live\" format, as well as broadcast online on Meridian Czernowitz's official Facebook page and on the corporation's website www.meridiancz.com.<\/p>\n

Israeli poets Noam Partom<\/a> and Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus<\/a> traveled to Chernivtsi to share their powerful and diverse poetry with Ukrainian audiences. Ukraine\u2019s Andriy Lyubka<\/a> faithfully translated the works of Israeli poets, as he has for those who have participated in UJE\u2019s program at Meridian Czernowitz in recent years.<\/p>\n

This year brought an extra surprise: Along with poems in Hebrew, Tomer shared his German-language poems. These were translated into Ukrainian and Russian by the unsurpassed Petro Rychlo<\/a> and Mark Belorusetz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to the chief rabbi of Chernivtsi and Bukovyna, Menachem Mendel Glitzenstein, who has for many years now provided a welcoming space for poetry readings that are part of UJE\u2019s festival program.<\/p>\n

And now poetry, in Hebrew, Ukrainian and German.<\/p>\n
