Words, places, and characters – explore Jerusalem through the eyes of poets and novelists
For lovers of literature and poetry – we invite you on a beautiful tour through the footsteps of Nobel Laureate S.Y. Agnon in his own neighborhood. We’ll walk the paths of “Only Yesterday” and envision the Jerusalem that Yitzhak Kumer first saw.
We’ll follow “Tehilla” through the Jewish Quarter – “There once was an old woman in Jerusalem…” – and stand on the city’s historical seam line accompanied by the precise words of Yehuda Amichai.
We'll also explore the works of iconic Jerusalem women writers – Rachel the Poetess, Zelda, Else Lasker-Schüler – through the streets of the city center and Rechov HaNevi’im.
Jerusalem has long drawn great authors and poets who transformed it into a literary creation of its own – from Zelda and Lea Goldberg to Amichai, Agnon, and many more who envisioned the city as a “heavenly Jerusalem”.
Join us for a literary journey through the city’s poetry and prose – from Agnon and Amichai to Amos Oz’s “A Tale of Love and Darkness” and Grossman’s “Someone to Run With”.
