About
For years I have taught reading poetry out loud and developed a method to improve performance through meaning.
Helicon poetry workshops for outstanding young poetry writers were six full weekends at Mishkenot Shaananim in Jerusalem, after which I founded Arabic–Hebrew Poetry Workshops in 2001.
​
For ten years I was Artistic Director of a project of composing music to Hebrew poetry at Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music, where I have been teaching poetry reading for twenty four years now.
On Christmas 2001 I joined Machsomwatch (Checkpoint Watch), where we monitored Israeli soldiers at checkpoints in the occupied territories of the West Bank, to protect Palestinian human rights and report violations online.
​
The Voice off the Page was published in Hebrew in 2016. A new, updated version in English, reading a dozen poems in English, is forthcoming.
My first husband was killed in the 1973 war. I have two sons, two daughters-in-law and four grandchildren from my second marriage.
I divide my time between Tel Aviv and London.
