The podcast discusses the paradox: how come when there are no words to express the horror of 7th October there are several poems written about the experiences and feelings? The bilingual English/Hebrew collection of poetry, entitled Shiva. Poems of 7 October, edited and translated by Rachel Korazim, Michael Bohnen, and Heather Silverman, was published by The Institute for Jewish Research and Publications Cambridge, MA in 2024. A Hungarian translation of the book will be released by MAZSIHISZ (The Federation of Hungarian Jewish Communities) and the Hungarian online magazine Izraelinfo.

In this episode Professor Andrea Peto from CEU talks with Rachel Korazim, who collected the poems from digital platforms, and Krisztina Politzer Maymon, the co-editor and translator of the Hungarian edition, about how poetry reflects and transcends imposed political divisions and how translations can build bridges over destruction.

In her book “The Unknown History of Jewish Women Through the Ages: On Learning and Illiteracy: On Slavery and Liberty”, which came out in English this year by de Gruyter.

In her conversation with Dóra Pataricza Rachel, Rachel Elior shows the devastating effects of the traditional Jewish prohibition of women learning to read. Depriving women of education meant a tremendous loss of creativity for the Jews. Keeping women illiterate was a means for Jewish men to subjugate them, for women it meant a form of slavery. First attempts to overcome this subjugation were made only at the end of the 19th century. Some women still did not achieve full equality, to this day in certain orthodox Jewish communities women are prohibited to get an education.
