Contemporary Hebrew Literature An Introduction to Hebrew Lit Congruency, Clash, and Collision by Yiftach Ashkenazi & Dekel Shay Schory Guest-edited by Dekel Shay Schory & Yiftach Ashkenazi Yiftach Ashkenazi is the author of three novels and two collections of short stories. He has also published poems, short stories, and literary reviews in local magazines as well as stories and reviews published in English and German. In 2016 he won the Prime Minister’s Prize for Hebrew Literary Works and the Rotenstreich Scholarship for Outstanding Doctoral Student in the Humanities. At the moment, he is completing his PhD and writing a thriller TV series for an Israeli cable network. Dekel Shay Schory is an Israeli-born literary scholar and editor who teaches in the Department of Hebrew Literature at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. In 2016 Schory founded, with Yigal Schwartz and Moria Dayan Codish, a series of fiction books, Ruach Tzad (Side Wind). Over twenty books, published to critical and public acclaim, have appeared in the last three years. 56 WLT WINTER 2021 DEKEL SHAY SCHORY / PHOTO BY IDIT WAGNER • YIFTACH ASHKENAZI / PHOTO COURTESY OF THE AUTHOR 58 Alma Igra 61 Amichai Chasson 62 Maayan Eitan 65 Sigal Naor Perelman 66 Nino Biniashvili 68 Moria Dayan Codish 70 Maya Tevet Dayan 71 Ruby Namdar 74 Shira Stav SPECIAL SECTION J ewish literature, Israeli literature, Hebrew literature. From a distance they might seem like three circles with quite a large congruency between them, almost absolute. Looking closer, these are three identity components that more than once clash and collide with one another . The writers in this special section write in Hebrew and work through their Jewish and Israeli identities, reflecting their lives in Israel and outside of it. Reading these works as a whole, we hope, allows for a different and complex outlook on Israeli society and the literature written from within it today. The ensemble presented here is greatly varied: it is composed of short stories, a graphic story, poems, an essay, and visual artworks. It is created by writers and artists who belong to different generations and come from different places in Israel and the world, and the topics they’re interested in range from food, prophecy, love, family, danger, madness, and also a cat. Interestingly , in a time of cessation and withdrawal, the voices arising from Hebrew literature in this issue present, in fact, movement and even restlessness; one story takes place by the Gaza border, others in the suburbs of New York, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv, but also Georgia (the country) and Canada. Immigration looms strongly, to and from Israel, like a wandering Jew stepping side by side with literature and language. Many world readers have a clear idea about Israel and Judaism. Many readers have a clear idea about Israeli literature and its political/national character. We hope that this short anthology will offer a few surprises and present readers with something new.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
