Lunch & Learn: Poetry of Israel, Post-October 7th with Rachel Korazim
2025-03-25 12:00 - 13:00, 2025-03-18 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Temple Beth El – Schaefer Family Campus, 333 SW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, FL, 33432, United States
Taught by Rachel Korazim
The calamity of October 7 and the war that followed had left Israel and the Jewish world in shock and despair. The unimaginable became our reality. As more details of the horror unfold, we are facing the painful daily losses in battle and the plight of the hostages and their families. Not less troubling, are the terrible losses and devastation in Gaza. We find ourselves less and less able to talk about it. The expression most commonly used is אין מילים ein milim – No Words.
Yet, there are those who struggle and find words to express pain and anger, despair and abandonment. The poems are often raw and painful, while at the same time full of love and even hope. They reflect a variety of Israeli voices and echo the impact of daily events. Our four sessions will each highlight one of the many aspects of this amazing body of literature.

Session 1: Shock and Bewilderment
Session 2: As Days Go By
Session 3: Poems of October 7
Session 4: In Every Generation

Join us in person at the Schaefer Family Campus or online.
