70 issues of the Achshav periodical and additional publications from the publishing house of Achshav and its editor, Prof. Gavriel Moked, 1957-2005.
Achshav is one of the most important literature periodicals published in Israel, primarily during the 50-s, 60-s and 70-s.
At first, it was published under the name "Ogdan – Literature Compilation published by a group of Jerusalem students of literature and philosophy", edited by Baruch Hefetz. Ori Bernstein, Maxim Gilan and Gavriel Moked were members of the editing staff of the second Ogdan booklet. Afterwards, the name was changed to Achshav, named after the first book written by Yehuda Amichai, Achshav U'Veyamim Ha'Acherim and the first Achshav booklet printed in 1959 was numbered 3-4 (the editors named are Natan Zach, Gavriel Moked and Yehuda Amichai. In the introduction of Achshav the editors write that Achshav is the continuation of Ogdan although basically they are different). From that time until today, Prof. Gavriel Moked serves as the periodical's editor.
In the first issue of Achshav, the monumental article "Thoughts on Alterman's poetry" by Nathan Zach was published, along with poems by Ori Bernstein, Aryeh Sivan, Yehuda Amichai, Dahlia Ravikovitch, Israel Eliraz, David Avidan, Moshe Dor, Maxim Gilan, Dan Pagis. Translations of poems by Brecht, Yeats and other poets appear in this issue as well. In issues 5-6 from 1960, Yisrael Pinkas, Dalia Hertz, Aharon Shabtai, Aharon Appelfeld and Yosef Mundi join the list of writers. issue 7-8 from 1962 features poems by Yair Hurwitz and Meir Wieseltier and issue 10 from 1964 has works by Yoram Kaniuk and Yona Wallach (20 years old) in the column New Contributors, with four poems (one is the poem Yonatan).
