lizshayne 's review for:
Painted Pomegranates and Needlepoint Rabbis: How Jews Craft Resilience and Create Community
by Jodi Eichler-Levine
hopeful
informative
reflective
medium-paced
I loved how this book was earnestly a work of ethnography and analysis and also simultaneously written for an audience that would be turned off by too much jargon and maybe just wanted to read it because they liked crafting.
The relationship between Judaism, Jewish crafts, and Jewish crafters remains striking and, while I did not always see myself in the fiber artists of this book, I really appreciated Eichler-Levine's understanding of what it is they do.
