This collection of short prose pieces presents the author’s impressions of and reflections on time spent within a particular landscape, the hills and lowlands of Kirkcudbrightshire.

Breaking Binaries: A progressive rabbi engages with contemporary issues by Elli Tikvah Sarah.
402 pp. Paperback. £15
ISBN: 978-1-9194854-0-9
Breaking Binaries invites readers to go beyond the limitations of the oppositions and impositions that characterise binary modes of thought and practice. Examining Jewish texts, rites, and relationships, the book introduces nuance and complexity to the consideration of contemporary issues, such as gender, Jewish status beyond the Jew/non-Jew binary, Israel-Palestine, and the challenge of interfaith engagement. It concludes with a call for human beings to become earthlings for the sake of the planet.
