Selected Works by Contemporary Israeli Writers

April 19 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

In our gathering “Poems of Love, War, and Peace” will get a taste of Hebrew poetry by reading various poems of Israeli poets about central themes in Israeli existence that are forever intertwined. Dr. Hanna Seltzer will guide us through the reading and analyses of poems by prominent Israeli poets such as Yehuda Amichai and Dahlia Ravikovitch. All poems will be available in Hebrew and in English translation.
