| For U.S. Jewry in particular, the question of a Jewish homeland is vexed. Does "homeland" refer to Zion, a Biblical promise arguably actualized in the nation-state of Israel? Or is the world of Eastern Europe, of Yiddishkeit, the Jewish homeland for U.S. Ashkenazi Jews? If so, then the Shoah shattered forever the hope of return. To what extent does the U.S. Jewish experience challenge the traditional opposition between the lack associated with diasporic existence and the plenitude associated with the homeland? Such theoretical/historical questions are evocatively staged in Rebecca Goldstein's Mazel (1995). Mazel productively shifts our attention from a singular, authentic Jewish homeland to the processes of Jewish home-making. Goldstein's emphasis on home-making not only prioritizes the feminist politics of home but also offers an alternative to theoretical and cultural narratives that can only imagine the relationship between diaspora and homeland as one of opposition and hierarchy. | |
