Domy i ruiny. Obraz Tel Awiwu w poezji Awota Jeszuruna

Abstract

The subject of the article Homes and ruins. The image of Tel Aviv in Avoth Yeshurun’s poetry is one of the main motifs of the Hebrew poet, who comes from Krasnystaw, Avoth Yeshurun. Pictures of contemporary urban ruins, houses demolished in Tel Aviv in the name of progress, not only express the poet’s objection to the destruction ubiquitous in the big city. Demolished houses, like cut trees, which are home for migratory birds, bring to mind the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple and, foremost, the annihilation of the Jewish world in Europe.
