Barur
Barur — “clear,” “evident,” or “refined” in Hebrew — traces a personal story of inheritance, loss, and return. Beginning with a forgotten set of candlesticks gifted to the author’s mother during the intifada, it unfolds into a meditation on memory, faith, and reclamation—between religious and secular, Israel and diaspora, ancestral and emergent. Through the intertwined threads of trauma, prayer, and deep time, the essay asks what it means to awaken to our lineage that is ever renewed.
