A new anthology about October 7 does something rare – it connects the trauma in Israel with its reverberations in the most far-flung Jewish communities.
It is a complex, emotionally charged, and at times harrowing collection of 43 contributions by Jewish and some non-Jewish writers from around the world, all confronting a central question: What does it mean to speak or remain silent as a Jew, or about Jews, in the wake of trauma?
The 7 October 2023 massacre, and its aftermath, has fractured discourse in Jewish communities globally; this book serves as both a raw wound and a bridge between experiences, geographies, and ideological perspectives.The editors Marla Brettschneider and Bonita Nathan Sussman moderate the Kulanu network, connecting diverse Jewish-affiliated communities, many of them isolated or marginalised in Africa, Asia, and the diaspora more broadly.Read the full story on the Jewish Independent HERE.
