Through six newly translated Hebrew poems, Zelda Schneurson Mishkovsky emerges as a singular voice bridging Orthodox Jewish tradition and modernist poetic expression. Born to a distinguished Hasidic family in Russia in 1914 and later settling in Jerusalem, Zelda crafted verse that navigates the delicate boundary between sacred ritual and earthly experience. The selected works—"When I Said the Blessing Over the Candles," "Cast Me Not Away," "Be Not Far," "Mephiboshet," "Place of Fire," and "The Invisible Carmel"—showcase her masterful integration of Jewish liturgical elements with deeply personal spiritual exploration. Translated by Marcia Falk, these poems from Zelda's six-volume oeuvre (1967-1984) demonstrate how traditional biblical references and Orthodox sensibilities can harmonize with contemporary poetic innovation. Her verses probe the nature of divine presence, mortality, and the sacred within the mundane, offering a unique perspective in Hebrew literature where ancient religious consciousness meets modern artistic expression.
