רגע של הולדת: נתן אלתרמן – גיבור תרבות

During the course we will read and write following one of the most wonderful and important creators of Hebrew literature, the poet who taught us the wonders of the New Land: Nathan Alterman.

We will embark on a journey following his diverse, breathtaking work, we`ll read from the love poems and wanderings of ‘Stars Outside’, we will get to know his political and fascinating writing of ‘The Seventh Column’, we will be delighted by the street poems, musicals and hymns, we will get to know his public work and will closely follow his pain and concern for his daughter in his immortal `Watch Poem`.

Through the shared reading of Alterman’s pulsating poetry, we will see what the secret is that made him a ‘cultural hero’ in the first decade of the country and how powerful his poetry is today. The course will be held in Hebrew and will include writing exercises.
