Jesse Aviv Wolfsthal

Jesse is a 17 year-old Israeli Jew living in the UK. He speaks Hebrew and English but writes predominantly in English. Jesse always had a passion for writing, but as he grew older and began to better understand who he was, his poetry became centered around his experiences as an Israeli and as a Jew in the diaspora, especially since the beginning of the war. He believes that art is key to understanding and empathising with our fellow man, and hopes to convey his and his people’s truth through his writing. Jesse is an editor and junior board member for Green Golem: The Zionist Literary Magazine.
