In a two-part special for Ellul (the last month in the Jewish calendar), join Aviva Dautch on Mondays in reading a selection of modern poetry by Israeli and Diaspora poets, responding to and rewriting the High Holiday liturgy. Explore the relationship between prayer and poetry and find out how listening can become as much of a creative act as speaking. Poets covered include Yehuda Amichai, Zelda Mishkovsky, Hava Pinhas-Cohen, Marge Piercy and Asher Reich. Poems and prayers will be provided in both Hebrew and English; no previous reading or language knowledge required.
