Wendy Zierler — “And Rachel Stole the Idols”

What happens when, after centuries of literary silence, women finally enter into the world of Hebrew letters? How do the first modern Hebrew woman poets and songwriters take hold of longstanding themes in Hebrew literary tradition and make them their own? Join us for a four-week Zoom class with Prof. Wendy Zierler will look at the emergence of modern Hebrew women’s poetry, its relation to biblical and liturgical sources, as well as to such pressing issues of modern and contemporary concern as war, illness, bereavement, and Zionism.
