Dialogue vs. “doing”: Running without aim for improved interfaith relations in Luxembourg
This article analyses an annual interfaith run in Luxembourg. Across diversities of backgrounds, ideas about interfaith, and how running works to achieve such a thing, participants maintain that the run is a meaningful and effective way to “do interfaith” and build cross-faith understanding and relationships. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted from 2022 to 2023, I argue that runners cultivate a disposition of play across the event, empha…
When the Text Draws You In: Literacy Assemblages in a Luxembourgish Synagogue
The Hebrew language learning process amongst students in a Liberal Jewish congregational school in Luxembourg presents a compelling case for attending to the materiality of literacy. This article draws on new materialist perspectives and the concept of the assemblage to understand how the powerful pull of objects, in particular a children’s a prayer book, brought students, things, and language into new relations that enabled the emergence of new …

When a yarmulke Stands for All Jews: Navigating Shifting Signs from Synagogue to School in Luxembourg
In the lives of students in Luxembourg's Liberal Jewish complementary school, flexibility and mobility are highly valued as key characteristics of modern living. Complementary school students feel they easily meet these criteria-they are multilingual, cosmopolitan, and their approach to Jewish life is flexible, and equally importantly, they look, dress, and comport themselves "like everyone else." These factors are understood to facilitate multip…
