Call for Submissions | Bridges – جْسُور – גשרים
This issue is dedicated to the ngo "Clean Shelter”
All proceeds from the magazine will be donated directly to “Clean Shelter”’s humanitarian efforts in Gaza. - Their mission is to provide immediate relief to displaced communities in Gaza by offering essential sanitation and shelter solutions, including tents, toilets, community structures, and access to clean water.
The war in Gaza has brought unimaginable human suffering.
Cities in ruins. Families wiped out. Countless lives lost.
Amid this devastation, Clean Shelter is saving lives – offering food, shelter, and medical aid.
Our words may not rescue anyone, but they can reach across silence, build bridges, and carry light into darkness.
In the upcoming issue of Bridges – جْسُور – גשרים, we seek poetry, stories, essays, and art that respond to pain and destruction — but also insist on the possibility of peace, compassion, and solidarity.
What we're looking for:
Poetry (up to 3 poems)
Short stories / Essays (up to 2,000 words)
Visual art (high-quality JPEG/PNG files)
Languages: Hebrew, Arabic, English, and German
Deadline for submissions: 1.10.2025
Publisher - The journal will be published by Aphorisma Verlag in Germany.
Art: Zamit Schaz.
All profits from magazine sales will be donated to Clean Shelter. This is our small way of contributing to a vital, life-saving effort.
