Virtual Workshop with Dr Rachel Korazim:
Monday 9 December, 11:00-12:30 CET
The calamity of October 7 and the war that followed has greatly affected Israel and the Jewish world. As more details of the horror unfold, we face the painful daily losses in battle and the plight of the hostages, their families, and the suffering of so many affected by the war. The expression that resonates the most seems to be אין מילים – No Words! And yet – some struggle and find words to express pain and anger, despair and abandonment as a way to cope with the ongoing tragedy.
Join Yesod Europe and Dr Rachel Korazim for a virtual workshop on Monday 9 December from 11:00-12:30 CET, exploring and analyzing poetry written as a response to the tragedy of October 7. The poems come from different parts of Israeli society and reflect many voices.
This session can be valuable for anyone seeking tools to address this tragedy personally or to bring the conversation into Jewish European communities in an educational setting.
The poems were published as part of the anthology “Shiva. Poems of October 7” by Rachel Korazim, edited and translated by R.Korazim, M. Bohnen, and H.Silverman. This anthology is available as one of the options for Yesod Europe’s Chanukah Jewish book gift this year.
Participants are requested to join from a computer rather than a mobile device and to turn on camera mode to fully participate in the workshop, including breakout room discussions. We also advise you to update to the latest version of Zoom in advance.
