Ein jüdischer Garten by Itamar Gov, Hila Peleg, Eran Schaerf is now available (03/01/2023)


The book launch of Ein jüdischer Garten (A Jewish Garden) took place at Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin on December 3, 2022. Ein jüdischer Garten explores the Jewish experience, history, and thought through creating an imaginary landscape of literature, with around 160 texts that deal with different plants from diverse linguistic contexts, regions, epochs and cultures. Here, acacias by Clarice Lispector thrive next to onions from the Hebrew Bible, in between plums by Albert Londres, poppies by Abraham Sutzkever, corn by Gabriele Tergit, a mango by Ronit Matalon and grass by Olga Tokarczuk. Together they form a migratory garden of words beyond linguistic and national boundaries–and a guidebook for an indeterminable Jewish identity.
