When All of Our Homelands are One is a poem about home, land and Jewish lineage that reads as a children’s picture book. Written as a letter from an elder to a grandchild, it asks: “Can I give you a culture to be proud of?” The book invites the reader into an intimate relationship between generations that is both incredibly personal and speaks truth to a collective grappling.  Through this work, I explore book-making as a sacred Jewish ritual art and core tool for cultural survival, past, present and future. The process of book-making is as important and central as the finished pieces, and is, itself, a doorway to new and needed next iterations of Jewish life. This work is inspired by Melanie Kaye Kantrowitz’s theory of Jewish Diasporism and the Jewish Labor Bund’s concept of “doykeit” meaning “hereness” in Yiddish. Based in diasporic and nomadic lineages, the book offers a vision of a collective anti-national Jewish relationship to land made of relationships with many places.
