Thank you, Aviya. For bringing us close to Ibn Ezra and his torments, for bringing us close to you and to ourselves. To gathering!

Wow, thank you so much, Tali, for this lovely comment! I feel that Ibn Ezra's life story brings together so many elements that matter to us right now. Hope we have the chance to gather again soon!!

Yes to gathering again soon! And I realise I should have said Ibn Ezra’s torments but also his beauty. Thank you for gathering us in these folds.

Aviya: I loved reading this piece on Ibn Ezra--your thoughts about him and his life in a turbulent time, the different translations of his remarkable poems, and your beautiful poems written in his voice.

Jenny, thank you so much! You were the earliest reader of the Ibn Ezra poems, so this means a lot. I have returned to his poetry at this late stage in the project, and have been moved anew.
