The Mizrachi (Sephardic) Voice in Israeli Literature

Since the mass immigration waves of the 50th, Israeli literature is addressing the issues of Jews from Moslem countries and their integration into its society. The long way, from their early marginalized situation to the assumption of empowered strong voices of the present, is expressed in rich and creative literature. The session will offer critical reading of works by Nathan Alterman, Balfour Hakak, Shimon Adaf, Roni Somek, Ariela Azulai and others.

Join Dr. Rachel Korazim, our spring 2016 Rabbi Barry Schaeffer Scholar-in-Residence, for a conversation via Skype (from the Curtis Hereld Room).  This is the 3rd in a series of 4 such sessions, all independent of each other, with the final session date still to be determined.

The cost is $5 per person.  Register by January 19, 2017
