Focusing on Jewish spatial practices, the book examines two groups of house symbols: ritual objects inspired by house iconology and metaphorical uses of the term "house." It delves into the interplay between architecture, gender, and cultural studies, highlighting how spatial dynamics influence identity formation, social interactions, gender roles, and notions of belonging within Jewish communities. This exploration offers valuable insights into the complex relationships between space and identity.
