'Mimi Levy Lipis takes her readers on a lively journey through the multitude of symbolic houses in Judaism. Her pioneering work links diverse disciplines, exploring both real and metaphorical houses. Through the splendid visual material of the sukkah, taken from her photographic field research, symbolic houses and ritual places become lived spaces.'
