Wyner Lecture with Rabbi Sharon Cohen Anisfeld
|
 Friday, June 8, 6:00 p.m.
It has long been considered a truism that Israeli society is deeply divided between "hilonim" and "dati'im" - between secular and religious Jews - but a more nuanced picture can be seen in the writing of contemporary Israeli poets over the last several decades. Many self-identified "secular" writers wrestle deeply in their poetry with their relationship to Jewishness, to the legacy of the Bible and rabbinic texts, and to the personal search for God.
