Channel Esther: South Africa Chronicles #6
by Esther Cohen
AHAVA turned ONE today
so we decided
we’d celebrate
parents
grandparents
wine tasting
at Solms Delta
they call them
wine farms here
one of the most beautiful
places on this earth
I am not just
Saying That
Ahava’s relatives
drank glass
after glass
after glass
toasting her
we tried them all
she played
happy
by a big old tree
I’m Arielle Angel, editor-at-large of Jewish Currents. Before you go, there’s something I need to ask.
We’ve seen over and over how the mainstream media falters in telling stories on our beats—whether it’s antisemitism, Israel/Palestine in American politics, Jewish identity, or the American left. At Jewish Currents we’re committed to uncompromising analysis and longform reporting on these issues and more—stories you won’t find anywhere else. In a media landscape that obscures injustice and flattens discussion, we’re changing the conversation. But we need you.
If you believe in this work, please consider making a donation—or even better, a recurring one—to ensure that we are able to keep publishing stories like this one. We can’t do it without you.
