- Summary
- "Exploring a contemporary Judaism of feeling, one rich with the textures of family, memory, and fellowship, Jodi Eichler-Levine takes us inside a flourishing American Jewish crafting movement. Traveling across the country to homes, craft conventions, synagogue knitting circles, and craftivist actions, she joins in the making, asking questions, and contemplating her own family stories. From Jewish Hearts for Pittsburgh to the Pomegranate Guild of Judaic Needlework, Jewish Americans, many of them women, are creating ritual challah covers and prayer shawls, and metal, clay, or ink pieces for family, friends, or Jewish charities. But they are doing much more, Eichler-Levine shows: armed with perhaps only a needle and thread, they are reckoning with Jewish identity in a fragile and dangerous world"--
