Abstract: *Be-Longing*, published in *Thresholds 21* by MIT, examines the fluid and contested nature of “home” through the lenses of identity, migration, and architecture in settler societies and global urban landscapes. Featuring reflections on sacred, domestic, and border spaces—from Dresden’s New Synagogue to Tijuana and urban Eruvs—the volume explores how spaces are constructed, deconstructed, and imagined. Themes of belonging, displacement, and spatial justice recur throughout. Drawing connections with critical discourse at institutions like the University of Cambridge, *Be-Longing* challenges static notions of place, offering a vision of home as an evolving and unsettled terrain shaped by memory, politics, and resistance.
