Raisins and Almonds is the title of a Yiddish poem and lullaby, written by Abraham Goldfaden in 1880. In this cycle, Geller shows a baby in a cradle, who grows into a Yeshiva student, then goes to work in order to emigrate, arrives in Chicago with its elevated train tracks, marches in demonstrations, and ultimately achieves a kind of renewal and transcendence as he stands grasping a sapling.
