Să nu se piardă încă, aș adăuga eu cu gustul amărui al clipei și al impresiei că lumea dimprejurul meu se topește în ceață, că vremurile s-au schimbat și ca benevolenza, vocația de a scrie despre ceilalți luând în seamă truda, pasiunea lor, interesul artistic sau căldura umanității lor, devine din ce în ce mai mult ceva nebăgat în seamă. Paradoxalul poet Moshe Itzhaki Paradoxală, densă, sobră și în același timp plină de emoție adeseori discret disimulată este această mare poezie scrisă de Moshe Itzhaki, poet israelian, erudit, universitar, autor care scrie în ebraică și care a avut părinți evrei porniți din România.El reușește după părerea mea, atât cât am citit din opera lui, în traducerea rafinată a lui Paul Farkaș, un fel de sinteză superioară a sensibilității lirice, adunând laolaltă, aș zice ca într-un creuzet ( cu teamă de comparația mea evident prea folosită în epoci diferite) vechi și nou, memorie și proiecție, oriental și occidental într-o esență distilată, o esență nobilă și tare. Antologia selectează poeme din șapte cărți de poezie ale autorului ( între altele intelectual recunoscut, șef de catedră la programul educațional interdiscplinar din departamentul științelor umanistice pentru studenții masteranzi, devenit ulterior decan al Facultății de Studii Masterale de la Oranim).

    Direcția Generală Programe prin Reprezentanțe și în Comunitățile Istorice Lista proiectelor organizate de reprezentanțele ICR din străinătate în luna Noiembrie 2018 Institutul Cultural Român de la Beijing 6 noiembrie / Două ore în România – vizită la Tianjin. ICR Beijing a organizat prezentarea României la două școli generale din Tianjin: Școala Generală Tianjin Xiangjiangdao și Școala Generală Tianjin Mofan. Vizitele au fost făcute la inițiativa Organizației Tinerilor Ambasadori Culturali. Reprezentanții ICR Beijing, Constantin Lupeanu, directorul ICR Beijing și Elena Racu, referent principal relații, au susținut prezentări enciclopedice despre România, dar au prezentat și aspecte care au fost alese în funcție de profilul școlilor (Școala Generală Xiangjiangdao – profil sportiv, Școala Generală Mofan – profil artistic). După ambele prezentări au avut loc sesiuni de întrebări și răspunsuri, elevii care au răspuns corect primind mici cadouri tradiționale românești. Având în vedere specificul artistic al Școlii Generale Mofan, elevii și profesorii au pregătit un bogat program artistic, în care au prezentat atât aspecte ale culturii tradiționale chineze, cât și aspecte ale vieții contemporane. La Școala Generală Tianjin Xiangjiangdao, reprezentanții ICR Beijing au fost întâmpinați de Zhen Zhaoyan, directoarea școlii și de Wang Honghua, directorul adjunct al Comisiei pentru Educație a municipiului Tianjin. La eveniment au participat aproximativ 100 de elevi din clasele a IV-a și a V-a. La Școala Generală Mofan, au participat: actualul director, Zou Guoxi și fosta directoare, Liu Shaoping, precum și 150 de elevi din clasa a V-a. La sfârșitul ambelor vizite a avut loc un schimb de cadouri între ICR Beijing și cele două instituții de învățământ. ICR Beijing a oferit pentru bibliotecile școlilor câte un album Mari români de pretutindeni.
