Since October 7, we can no longer find the words. We find ourselves repeatedly engulfed with grief, pain, and confusion in the face of the most challenging period we have known since the establishment of the State of Israel.
In the search for consolation and for our lost words, we approached women and men from the fields of the humanities, culture, and community and asked them about the Jewish-Israeli words that give them strength in these difficult times.
We called this initiative “Ruach Chayim” Spirit of Life, out of the hope that it can restore, even partially, the spirit and inner strength so needed now by Israeli society.
