The gathered guests will \r\nshare their memories of booksellers who undoubtedly played the role of ambassadors of Polish culture in Israel during their lifetime.\r\nEdmund Neustein (1917-2001) was a publisher and bookseller. After the end of World War II, he opened a bookstore in Katowice, and \r\nthen another in Warsaw. In 1957, he emigrated to Israel, and in January 1958, together with his wife Ada, he opened a Polish bookstore \r\nat 94 Allenby Street in Tel Aviv. He brought books and magazines from Poland and from the Polish diaspora around the world, and \r\norganized literary events. Soon, the Neustein bookstore became one of the largest centers of Polish culture not only in Israel, but also in \r\nthe world, and Neustein himself was awarded several prizes in recognition for promoting Polish culture, including on behalf of the Polish \r\nCultural Society (1989), the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1994) and the Ministry of Culture (1994). Edmund Neustein died in 2001 \r\nand his wife Ada continued to run the bookstore until her death in 2004.\r\n \r\nPhotographs from the archives of Jerzy and Hanna Press and Dani Tracz.\r\n\r\nphotos: Anna Majewska\r\n "},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-GB","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/en\/2023\/05\/04\/ceremony-of-naming-the-library-of-the-polish-institute-tel-aviv-after-ada-and-edmund-neustein\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/05\/Mundek-i-Ada-Neustajn.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/05\/Mundek-i-Ada-Neustajn.jpg","width":1139,"height":1168},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/en\/2023\/05\/04\/ceremony-of-naming-the-library-of-the-polish-institute-tel-aviv-after-ada-and-edmund-neustein\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Ceremony of naming the Library of the Polish Institute Tel Aviv after Ada and Edmund Neustein"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/","name":"Instytut Polski w Tel Avivie","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-GB"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/#\/schema\/person\/c292ea374e836c7bbbdce3f272949ed2","name":"efratyh","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-GB","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a397b48b8a02cfbc8e00eeeb163ce137?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a397b48b8a02cfbc8e00eeeb163ce137?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"efratyh"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/author\/efratyh\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/69"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4654"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4723,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4654\/revisions\/4723"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/telaviv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
