Examples

“Hereness isn’t just about place⟳, but about people: centering our politics and spiritual project around those nearest to us, adopting neighborliness as political practice and intergenerationality as a matter⟳ of course. Hereness demands that we learn⟳ our local histories and resurrect hidden ones of our own⟳. Hereness means we refuse⟳ to disappear⟳ into the interiority of our liturgy, and equally refuse⟳ to stop⟳ being Jews in public. Hereness forces us to consider⟳ critically our relationship with class and its ordering of our world. Hereness is weird and materialist and queer and fun and angry, and best of all it’s already happening.”
