I just published a deep-dive on the “Wandering Jew” — not only the medieval legend of the cursed Jewish man doomed to walk the earth, but also the houseplant Tradescantia zebrina, which somehow survives fire, drought, and neglect. I explore how exile, folklore, botany, and Jewish survival all braid together, challah-like, in this strange symbol of wandering.
Would love to hear what others here think about the legend, the plant, or the broader theme of Jewish resilience through exile.
