Jewish Voices from Around the World (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This is a powerful anthology that explores Jewish life, identity, and belonging across continents, cultures and generations. In eighteen essays this collection illuminates how history, migration, memory and tradition have shaped Jewish identities in a wide range of diverse settings. Featuring contributions from highly regarded authors such as Ruth Behar, Elizabeth Graver, Nadia Ragozhina and Sarah Sassoon, educators, artists, and community leaders, the book brings together voices from Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. Each essay offers a first-hand reflection on family history and cultural inheritance. Edited by Dó ra Korá nyi and Sebastiá n Mizrahi, founders of Qesher (Hebrew for connection), this anthology is a natural extension of their work to foster understanding among global Jewish communities. Since 2020, Qesher has introduced thousands of participants worldwide to lesser-known Jewish histories through conversations with speakers from across the globe. The book showcases voices from communities, both large and small - some flourishing, others preserved mainly through memory - capturing languages, customs, and traditions, some at risk of disappearing.
