• Sommario/riassunto: The questions at the heart of this work are: what things make a home 'Jewish', and what is it that makes Jews feel `at home' in their environment? The material dimensions are explored through a study of the symbolic and ritual objects that convey Jewishness and a consideration of other items that may be used to express Jewish identity in the home. The discussion is geographically and ethnically wide-ranging, and the transformation of meaning attached to different objects in different environments is contextualized.
