How it all started?

In December 2001, thirty Jewish theatre Directors and academics from around the world met in Tel Aviv at a conference “Towards a Vibrant and Coherent Theatre of the Jewish People,” hosted by the Jewish Agency’s People to People center. They concluded with the decision to establish a Jewish Theatre Network on the Web.

Pursuant to the conference, the Jewish Agency asked Moti Sandak to plan and design this Jewish World Theatre Website, to be based on his own initiative and ten years of research in Jewish theatre, rare collection of plays and professional articles, connections with leading libraries and databases around the world, and three years of accumulated research in Internet information technology together with European R&D institutions.
