Abstract

The article explores the poet Uri Zvi Grinberg's attitude towards Jerusalem, as reflected in his poem “A Great Fear and the Moon”, the first he wrote following his immigration to Eretz Israel. The reconstruction process references political-historical contexts on the background of the first decade of the British Mandate, which Grinberg viewed as the reincarnation of Rome, scion of the kingdom of Edom.
