YEREVAN, Armenia – The leadership of the Jewish community of Armenia have just finished taking part in a publishing and public relations conference in Georgia. The Conference of editors and founders of Jewish newspapers and magazines was organized by the Center of Knowledge and Information of Caucasus Jewish Communities and was sponsored by the JDC. The event took place this week at the Jewish Community Center in Tbilisi, Georgia.
Rabbi Gersh-Meir Burshtein, the Chief Rabbi of Armenia and one of the founders of ‘Kohelet’ newspaper, was joined by Yevgenia Kazaryan-Pliner, the Chief Editor of the ‘Magen David’ Magazine, at this event.
The conference highlighted the numerous themes, including the role of the Jewish press in the life of today’s Jewish community. Participants covered topics dealing with the mass media and the laws of Torah, as well as addressing Jewish publications as a community-building tool and many more topics of interest.
The Jewish leaders from Armenia took an active part in the ensuing discussions. Participants in this conference also benefited from a psychological training session entitled “Techniques of Effective Communication”, which was conducted by Lamara Ugulayeva.
The Jewish representatives from Armenia are hopeful that they will be able to apply all that they have learned in advancing the continuous development of Jewish life at home.
