Synopsis :

In the months following the horrors of October 7th, Israelis wrote poems to express the nation’s feelings and emotions. Well-known poets alongside new fresh voices appeared daily on social media and in the literary supplements of daily papers. They described the inability to speak; they gave voice to choked tears, rage and despair. This anthology includes 59 Hebrew poems printed alongside their English translations. The book includes a link to brief recorded commentaries
about each of the poems. Net proceeds of all sales will be donated to the Israel Trauma Coalition for their work with victims of October 7th and its aftermath.

“These pages take unimaginable pain and transmute them to art. The poems are powerful, important and remind us of the of the rawness and the resilience that poetry brings to our lives.”
RABBI DAVID WOLPE, Emeritus, Sinai Temple

“These poems - of pain, betrayal, grief, generosity, courage and grace - cracked my heart open in the way that only broken fragments can do. Together they offer a window into the diverse responses of our Israeli family to this most devastating chapter in our history.”
RABBI ANGELA BUCHDAHL, Central Synagogue

“This is a heartbreaking collection of poems that brings words to the wordlessness of suffering. Each stanza takes the reader into a world of darkness and leaves us with shards of light.”
DR. ERICA BROWN, Yeshiva University
