WINDOWS TO ISRAEL
THROUGH LITERATURE
Windows to Israel through literature is an overarching title for a multitude of activities. They all offer an in-depth reading of the best of Israel’s poets and writers as a key to the many faces of its life and culture: Even if you never liked poetry, this is an experience you may wish to try.
You will meet here the older classics from H. N. Bialik and Nathan Alterman all the way to the most recently published young “Spoken Word” voices. You will explore the main stream voices and the edges. Women & Men, Arabs and Jews speaking from all along the ideological spectrum.

A Bilingual Anthology
of Israeli Poetry in the Wake of October 7th
In the months following the horrors of October 7th, Israelis wrote poems to express the nation’s feelings and emotions. Well-known poets alongside new fresh voices appeared daily on social media and in the literary supplements of daily papers. They described the inability to speak; they gave voice to choked tears, rage and despair. This anthology includes 59 Hebrew poems printed alongside their English translations. Net proceeds of all sales will be donated to the Israel Trauma Coalition for their work with victims of October 7th and its aftermath.
