    Sha’ar is the Arabic word for “poem” and the Hebrew word for “gate”. Sha’ar International Poetry Festival has taken upon itself to open through poetry a gate to thought, to beauty and to human dialogue. The festival is an interdisciplinary poetry festival, that hosts established Israeli and guest poets, as well as young promising poets and artists. Sha’ar involves the public in the dialogue, including multi-media Arabic and Hebrew works and a wide variety of activities. Besides poetry readings a panel discussion and meetings with editors of poetry journals, the festival presents collaborations of poetry with other artistic fields: music, dance, video art, visual arts, and theatre.
