Leora

Thank you for this introduction to Tuvya Reubner. I read elsewhere that his native language was not Hebrew but German. Makes his poetry all the more amazing. I appreciated the two translations; for example, "nishmar" is translated in two different ways.

The children's response at the end reminds me of my son's response, when he was four years old, to the news of my mother's death. "Will we eat supper there" (we were about to travel 5.5 hours to Boston) "or here?"

Leora,

you have a fine blog, by the way - I've seen it before.

Matt Salomon's translation of nishmar by "is preserved" is excellent, probably better than mine.
