	Stockholm International Forum
		I have opened my address in Hebrew, the language of the prayers of the six million who were lost in the Holocaust, and with the words of Avraham Shlonsky, a poet from the land of Israel, the land they dreamed of reaching – and never did.
		It is the "vow," as Shlonsky wrote in his poem, "to remember – and naught to forget." My dear friends, Stockholm is bound up in our national memory with the extraordinary figure or Raul Wallenberg, foremost among the "righteous gentiles" who stoked the embers of humanity in their hearts in an age of great darkness.
		He stood boldly and sacrificed himself to do the seemingly simple and obvious thing: not to remain silent, but to save human beings in mortal danger.

	All About Jewish Theatre - Israeli actor Avraham Chalfi (1904-1980 )-The Poet with the cane and green coat
		Similar to other "minor poets" who did not achieve fame in their lifetime as poets, Chalfi was discovered by the wide audiences mainly after his death; owing in large to his songs being composed by such young composres as Yoni Rechter, Miki Gavrielov, Alon Oleartchik and Yehudit Ravitz.
		But the role he is mostly remembered for is Akakii Akakievich in Nikolay Gogol's "The Overcoat", translated from Russian by Shlonsky and directed by Shmuel Bunim in the Cameri theatre, 1966.

		Shlonsky derided employers of Arabs for caring more for their personal gain than for the homeland.
		As a boy in Emek Hefer I witnessed the drying of the swamps, the planting of the orchards by my uncle and his comrades, but I also saw the Arabs who lived there - on the land that was purchased by the Jewish National Fund - uprooted from their land, sometimes violently.
		In 1945, when he published his first poem in Al Hamishmar, Avraham Shlonsky dropped the apostrophe from the Hebrew gimmel, and he became known as Gouri.

	VCU Menorah Review :: Israeli Literature and Israeli Politics
		The emphasis on the public, the national homeland, was contrary to the prevailing modernist European norms that emphasized the private, and the state of exile.
		In chapter three, Gluzman re-reads the “minor writing” of Avraham Fogel, a poet who was marginalized in the 1930s and criticized by the likes of Uri Zvi Greenberg and Avraham Shlonsky for his poetics of simplicity.
		The dismissal of Esther Raab failed to note her choice of minimalism and rejection of the male tradition as too bound to the past and to the collective, and as such restricts personal expression.

	Nation in a mirror: observations on modern Hebrew poetry Judaism - Find Articles
		Those of the Palestinian period, sometimes called the Urban poets, led by Avraham Shlonsky, found Bialik's work too moralizing, too biblical in its language; their emerging spirit of independence did not admit wearing the heart on one's sleeve.
		Nor would it admit the Jew-as-victim mentality; this despite the fact that Bialik's poems, time and again, chastised the devout congregations for their passivity.

	"A Century of Israeli Art, on View in Berlin - Forward.com"
		Nowhere was the Jews’ romance with the land more proudly idealized than in Hungarian-born Zoltan Kluger’s fl-and-white photographs portraying robust life on the kibbutz.
		Sionah Tagger’s portrait of Avraham Shlonsky, the first modern poet in the Hebrew language, connects a face to the era of confidence and optimism that Jews felt about the utopian world they were building in Palestine.
		Shlonsky, with his enormous head of hair, luminous green eyes and melancholic expression, embodies an archetypal Jew, brilliantly creative, who has emerged from the West in successive generations — from Leon Trotsky to Albert Einstein to Bob Dylan.

		Thus danced the children who had rebelled, who carried the weight of their past; and their present, longing for a different future, was impatient to move on.
		What is not certain, however, is that their parents will read Bialik and Agnon, Burla and Hazaz, Shlonsky and Alterman, or the new generation of writers, unless they are translated.

		led by Avraham Stern, to contact representatives of Nazi Germany in the Middle East, with a view to a possible alliance in the struggle against the British.
		It is difficult not to detect in all these occurrences a deep revulsion against East European Jewry, from whom the Zionists wished to dissociate themselves—and especially from their terrible helplessness in their plight.
		Zionism indeed is a classic example of a body that insists on preserving its distinction, its separate character, and endeavors to link itself with foreign imperialistic powers as a counter-weight to the local inhabitants with whom it is in conflict.

	Israel Studies--Reconciling Two Great Loves
		It seems fair to say that Habiby's literary endeavors were rather low on his agenda at this point in his career, and he had not yet come to regard himself as a "novelist." Other Arab writers, such as Michel Haddad, who was supposedly closely identified with the "Establishment," were also not invited.
		He remarked that one person had translated all three poems, and he recalled that, upon hearing the poems read in the original Arabic, he had been more impressed by the noble sound of an incomprehensible language than by the Hebrew translation which he perfectly understood.
		Shlonsky's restraint, however, was not characteristic of the atmosphere during the rest of the meeting.

	The Chronicle: 9/21/2001: The Politics of Holiness in Jerusalem
		Modern Hebrew literature also contained deeply contradictory tendencies regarding Jerusalem: In the last two decades of the 19th century, writers of the ahavat Zion (love of Zion) school tended to extol Jerusalem and sing its praises; modernist poets and novelists, from Haim Nahman Bialik onward, took a more harshly realistic view.
		In the first half of the 20th century, a stream of writing (Yosef Haim Brenner, Nathan Alterman, Avraham Shlonsky, the early Uri Zvi Greenberg) that was hostile to Jerusalem -- loathing it, demystifying it, even stressing its irrelevance -- shaped a profoundly negative view of the city in the Hebrew literary imagination.
		Of course, that was only one stream of thought -- but, in its time, perhaps the most influential and truly expressive of the Zionist revolution against Jewish traditionalism.
