Three Great Hebrew Poets, with Rachel Korazim

Join us for a series exploring Hebrew poetry with the great poetry teacher Rachel Korazim, who will join us for three Zoom sessions from Tel Aviv.

Our first session will discuss Natan Alterman (1910-1970), one of the leading poets of the pre-state period and the first decades of Israel. Every Israeli knows Alterman for “The Silver Platter,” a 1947 work, iconically associated with Israeli independence and remembrance. But his work is hardly known in the Diaspora.

We will explore Alterman’s lyrical personal poems and the monumental “Seventh Column” – Alterman’s weekly writings in the newspaper Davar, poetic responses to many social and political issues of early Israeli life.
