THE POETRY OF LEAH GOLDBERG WITH DR. RACHEL KORAZIM

Twelve of the greatest Israeli poets laid the foundations and gave us the language of metaphors, sounds and images in Hebrew. Over the course of four sessions (January 11, 18, 25 and February 1 at 1:00pm), we will study the subtle and insightful poems of Leah Goldberg, exploring the richness and versatility of her writing, and its relevance to our times. These close readings of Goldberg's work will also feature live music from Cantor Markowicz, Cantor Staple, and Ken Smith. ZOOM in here.
