Interview with Sylvie Weil – “The Wanderings of Isaac André Gedalia” – Bradley Jersak

Sylvie Weil – “The Wanderings of Isaac André Gedalia” Interview with Bradley JersakIn The Wanderings of Isaac André Gedalia, Sylvie Weil invites us into the curious pilgrimage of a pre-born soul who ventures from the warmth of his mother’s womb, through a murderous miscarriage, traveling from Brooklyn to Japan to Paris, and finally home—familiar and eternal. Little Isaac drifts across boundaries of time, memory, and longing—half exile, half guide—gathering stories, recalling genealogies, and recounting legends along the way.

In this video, Bradley Jersak (Principal of St. Stephen’s University, NB) explores Sylvie’s experiences around writing the book, processing her own grief of delivering a stillborn child, the marvellous world of Jewish Midrash, and how she knits joy and sadness together to create something beautiful.
