Sadnaot Habait is the largest creative writing school in Israel, offering over 80 writing workshops annually from Kiryat Shmona to Eilat. The school desires to promote the power of the written word, as a channel for social change and to foster a community of writers. Founded by writer Eshkol Nevo and Poetess Orit Gidali, we firmly believe that writing is not only an art form but also a healing process capable of generating social empowerment. We are proud to have a team of thirty carefully selected, published writers, Jews and Arabs, secular and religious, who are experienced in teaching writing and share our values of tolerance, attentiveness, and dedication.
Over the years, our organization has conducted hundreds of writing workshops for diverse communities throughout Israel, including bereaved families, at-risk youth, and the second generation of Holocaust survivors, among others. We've also collaborated with major cultural institutions such as the Tel Aviv Museum, The ANU Museum, the International Writers Festival, and more to advance our mission. Our writing workshops provide a safe, unrestricted space where individuals can express themselves, share their stories, and engage in meaningful dialogue.
