Voices of Liberation from Maine

For Passover 2022/Nisan 5782, the Center for Small Town Jewish Life is sharing and amplifying Voices of Liberation from Maine. We hope that the poetry and artwork of our neighbors from around the state will bring clarity, beauty, and urgency to your seders. We have suggested how these poems can be integrated into your seders, bringing Maine voices of conscience into your observance. Here is the poetry of Stuart Kestenbaum of Deer Isle, Shoshannah Violet of Waterville, and Anna Wrobel of Westbrook, and the paintings of Camille Davidson of Readfield. We hope they will enhance your seders.
