The Israeli Society for Science Fiction and Fantasy
The Israeli Society for Science Fiction and Fantasy was founded in May 1996
in order to promote and augment the fields of Science Fiction and Fantasy in
Israel, and has been continuously active ever since. So far its activity
included conventions, lectures about fantasy, science fiction and general
science topics, premiere screenings of SF&F films, SF&F story-writing contests
and much more. The society publishes an SF&F magazine called "The Tenth
Dimension" and an online magazine - the Hebrew section of this very site. Both
are, of course, in the Hebrew language. The society is a non-profit
organization, and all its activities, as well as management, are performed by
volunteers only.
There are currently about 500 members in the Society.
The Society's Goals:
| 1. |
Promote and encourage SF&F
in Israel. |

as well as other forms of original SF&F art. |

or occasional basis, in various places in Israel, including

including mass media, interested in SF&F, and maintain
contacts with agencies at the forefront of scientific research
in Israel. |
