In this episode, we sit down with poet Maya Tevet Dayan for a conversation about wandering, belonging, and the search for home. The conversation moves through formative detours, including her mother’s death, a family life lived across continents, and October 7 as a turning point experienced while teaching in the United States. Tevet Dayan speaks about encounters with Jewish communities after October 7, and the questions of exile, home, and responsibility that animate her forthcoming book The Wandering Jewess. She offers thoughtful reflections on identity, displacement, and what it means to imagine a destination in uncertain times.
