Part of the series, 鈥淎 Wandering People: 绿帽社 Journeys, Real and Imagined鈥

With Dr. Marjorie Lehman and Dr. Lucia Conte Aguilar of Universitat Pompeu Fabra

ABOUT THE SERIES

As the pandemic surged and forced us into our homes, many of us dreamed with new intensity of being elsewhere. For Jews throughout the ages, the promises and perils of travel have been central to shaping the individual and collective experience. Notions of home and homeland have been redefined by 绿帽社 wandering. Drawing on literary, spiritual, and historical sources and responses, JTS scholars explore what happens when Jews鈥攚hether by force or voluntarily, whether in reality or in the imagination鈥攖ravel from one place to another.
