In the months following October 7th, Israeli poets responded to the tragedy through powerful verses that gave voice to the nation's grief, rage, and despair. This episode explores selections from Shiva: Poems of October 7th, an anthology containing 59 Hebrew poems alongside English translations, examining how poetry serves as a distinctly Jewish response to catastrophe.
Hebrew College faculty member Rav Rachel Adelman joins rabbinical students Deborah Anstandig, and Matthew Schultz, both of whom were in Israel during the October 7th attack, along with translator Michael Bohnen for an intimate discussion of these poems. Through close readings of works by Rabbi Osnat Eldar, they explore themes of faith, doubt, and the complex relationship between God and the Jewish people in times of crisis.
