Now in English, 'Class of 95' anthology brings elegies for Rabin to wider world

The anthology 'Class of 95,' now available in English, brings together poetry and reflections on the assassination of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, an event that deeply shaped Israeli society and world Jewry. Edited by Barak Sella, who experienced the tragedy as a child, the collection is structured around the stages of Jewish mourning and aims to foster a lasting, personal connection to Rabin's legacy beyond annual ceremonies. The book, originally published in Hebrew as 'Mahzor 95,' features 40 poems selected to create a narrative that resonates with readers worldwide, especially as the 30th anniversary of Rabin's death approaches. Sella hopes the anthology will encourage reflection on democracy, national grief, and the ongoing challenges facing Israeli society, making Rabin's memory a shared compass for the future.
