Words of Comfort Home, Memory, Healing, Resilience, Unity, Hope, Renewal
Just as the written word shapes our understanding of history and culture, it also serves as a powerful bridge connecting individuals and communities across time and space. As we entered the Hebrew year 5785, while still in the midst of one of the most challenging periods our nation has ever faced, the National Library of Israel launched the Words of Comfort project that invited thought leaders to reflect upon words that resonated throughout the year. Their essays help us draw comfort from the words that connect and inspire us. These words also gave us a framework for reflecting on the inaugural year of the new National Library of Israel campus, a year of tremendous challenges and of remarkable achievement and growth.
