Poetic Windows Into Contemporary Israeli Society

with Dr. Rachel Korazim

In this four part series we will explore contemporary Israeli voices as they are expressed in poetry created by young men and women. In this series we are seeking voices rarely heard outside of Israel: Haredim, Arabs, Settlers and Mizrachi voices. They will not always be easy, we do not need to agree, but it will be worthwhile listening.
