Israeli Poems for Our Post-October 7 World (ONLINE)

9:15-10:15 a.m. on Zoom  
Join us and watch online at TBE or join remotely.

Join us as Dr. Korazim invites participants to read poems written by Israelis during the challenging times following the calamity of October 7. These poems, raw and painful, come from many different segments of Israeli society and express a beautiful tapestry of voices.

Rachel is a Jewish education consultant in curriculum development for Israel and Holocaust education. Rachel opens for her audiences a window to Israeli society through literature; through stories, poems and songs of the best of Israel’s writers, she invites listeners to engage with Israel in an innovative way.

Since the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic, Rachel created a global community of hundreds of learners who meet to study Israeli poetry online regularly. Rachel teaches at Israel’s well known learning centers such as Pardes and the Shalom Hartman Institutes as well as numerous world Jewish communities.

In her free time, Rachel enjoys scuba diving in the cenotes of Playa del Carmen in Mexico and the amazing coral sites of the Red Sea. Rachel is also a very active grandmother of eight grandchildren who all live in Israel.
