Hi,

The PD Day Celebration in Israel was celebrated on Wednesday, 5 January
2011, at the Haifa Center for Law and Technology in Haifa University.

During the event, we discussed the meaning of PD Day and mentioned Ze'ev
Jabotinsky (1880-1940) a renowned Israeli author, among others.

We also introduced some of the organizations that support open/free access
in Israel, such as Creative Commons Israel, Wikipedia-Wikimedia Israel,
Haifux - Linux Haifa and local initiatives of PD projects such as project
Ben-Yehuda http://www.benyehuda.org/e_faq.html & project "Zemereshet" - a
projec of PD songs in Hebrew http://www.zemereshet.co.il/page.asp?id=3.

The celebration was mentioned both in the local newspapers and radio.
