Polish encounters at the Library #4

On the occasion of Polish Mother’s Day (celebrated in Poland on May 26), we invite you to a special gathering — a women’s circle and a shared book club in an open, sensitive, and connecting atmosphere.

Throughout 2026, the Polish Institute Library will host a new series of meetings in Polish – “Polish Meetings” (Polskie spotkania) – aimed at the Polish-speaking community in Israel. The series seeks to create a lively and vibrant community space. In each session, community members will lead an open discussion around their interests, knowledge, and expertise. It is a place to meet, share personal and professional experience, and strengthen connections within the community – with generosity, curiosity, and a desire to deepen relationships.

The 4th event will take place on May 29 and will be devoted to a discussion of two bestsellers by Polish psychologist Natalia de Barbaro: Kind Companion (Czuła przewodniczka) and Przędza.

This is a meeting dedicated to reflection, sharing, and listening — to ourselves and to others. Through reading, we will explore themes of female identity, expectations, self-discovery, and the inner voices that accompany us in everyday life. No prior knowledge is required — only curiosity and a willingness to be present and read together.

The Polish Institute Library has several copies of the books available, and we will also be happy to provide digital versions for anyone who would like to read in advance and engage more deeply with the discussion. To request a copy, please contact Agata Krizevski at: telaviv.librarian@instytutpolski.pl.
