Heshbon HaNefesh: A Poetic Accounting of a Pandemic Year

March 11, 2021—9:00 pm (Eastern)

March 11, 2021 marks a year since the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a pandemic.

Jewish poets and liturgists from across the world have assembled to share their work, to help us sit with and integrate our experiences of the past year.

The planned poetic intervention represents a Heshbon HaNefesh- a soul-accounting- by which we can better understand where we have been, where we are now, and where we may yet go.

We will be hosting separate readings so as to accommodate and include as many of us as possible.
