The Kerchief
A lecture with Rabbi Jeffrey Saks
As we mark the week of Tisha B’Av (Agnon’s 138th birthday) we’ll consider the centrality of that tragic day in Agnon’s writings, and in this tale of the youth in Buczacz as he prepares for bar mitzvah and the responsibilities of talking his place as an agent of redemption.
This series takes place live at Agnon House, 16 Klausner Street, Jerusalem (no Zoom broadcast).
Rabbi Jeffrey Saks is director of research at Jerusalem’s Agnon House.
