Across its storied existence, The Hebrew Writers Association has consistently epitomized excellence in Hebrew literature. Presently, it boasts a membership of approximately five hundred individuals, including writers, poets, and literary scholars, all participating at varying degrees in organizational activities.

The Association hosts an array of literary events each year, including book launches, reading soirées, literary discussions, symposia, participation in literary festivals, and more.

The Hebrew Writers Association fosters global connections with writers and similar associations worldwide. It stands as both a patron of prestigious literary awards, notably the coveted Brener Prize, and the driving force behind distinctive literary initiatives. Notably, it operates the renowned Beit Hasofer in Tel Aviv, a sanctuary for Israeli literature.

Continuously expanding, the archive is readily accessible to the public, drawing daily visits from students, researchers, journalists, and literary scholars hailing from Israel, the U.S., and various corners of the globe.
