Varda Branfman Moves us through Poems

May 18th, 2009, by Shoshana Savyon

We are very excited that Varda has agreed to share several of her writings with us and here’s the first. Varda is a wonderful writer and poet that has been published in many places. Her book of collected writings, “In the Night I Remembered your Name” is one of my favorites.

We’re lucky to have her here in Jerusalem. Although Varda is a woman of substance with great spiritual depths, she brings out the fun in me. We have been frequently asked if we are sisters. Being the same good height, we are a great dancing duo at weddings. Her houseful of wonderful children and now grandkids is a inspiration.

We would like for you to react to her poems and will be posting two more in the hear future. What do they bring up for you? See mine below and enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »
