Abstract
We have chosen Israeli poems that express both the pain and the hope since October 7th.
Zelda Mishkowsky (1916–
1984), a descendant of the
Chabad Lubavitcher
rabbinic dynasty, was
born in Ukraine and
immigrated to
Palestine in 1928 at the
age of 12. Popularly known by her first name, she was a pious
woman who lived most of her life in Jerusalem’s very
religious neighborhoods. She remains one of the few
poets able to traverse Israel’s religious-seculcar
divide.
Discussion Questions:
