Blending history, celebrations, and reconciliation of Jewish traditions with life in New Mexico, the circle of the Jewish year is saturated by the New Mexico experience as tashlich is performed in a desert river, and Passover coincides with Good Friday pilgrims making a holy journey to the Santuario de Chimayo. Includes work by Marjorie Agosin, Yehudis Fishman, Gene Frumkin, Natalie Goldberg, Judyth Hill, Joan Logghe, Consuelo Luz, Carol Moldow, Judith Rafaela, Miriam Sagan, and others.
