Writing on the Wall was born after an impromptu writing workshop led by Professor William Kolbrener after October 7th. Hearing the power of writers’ stories, Writing on the Wall was born. Bill (the Jerusalem religious American) and creative director, Ronit Eitan (the Tel Aviv secular Israeli), agree that fighting antisemitism starts with joining our different voices together through poetry and art. Our diversity is our strength – encounter the complexity and the layered reality that is Israel today.
