UPCOMING
RUPTURED
In this powerful collection of personal essays, thirty-six Australian Jewish women, including Ramona Koval, Dani Valent, Kerri Sackville, Deborah Conway, Rachelle Unreich and Kylie Moore-Gilbert, reveal how their lives were turned upside down in the wake of October 7 attacks.
Our hope is that these essays, the opportunities they offer to hear and understand us, can become tools for repairing the rupture between our community and the world around us.
The world changed irrevocably on October 7, 2023.
From race-walker Jemima Montag’s account of competing in the Olympics as a Jewish athlete, to actress Dena Amy Kaplan encountering hostility when she speaks against Jew-hatred, to author Elise Esther Hearst’s attempts to find solace in making comedy, Ruptured showcases compelling true stories where narrators reflect on the profound rift
created that day and their attempts to mend it.
