This piece is part of an ongoing series that we are sharing from Israeli authors and authors in Israel.
It is critical to understand history not just through the books that will be written later, but also through the first-hand testimonies and real-time accounting of events as they occur. At Jewish Book Council, we understand the value of these written testimonials and of sharing these individual experiences. It’s more important now than ever to give space to these voices and narratives.
They roam the hills of Gilead
Weeping their youth
A burnt offering.
Their cry
An echo
In the halls of
Silence.
The views and opinions expressed above are those of the author, based on their observations and experiences.
