The summer edition of Humanistic Jewish Magazine highlights the work of Amos Oz, the Humanistic Jewish Role Model for 2019-2020. This week we will explore the idea of Jewish culture based on the importance of Jewish texts. See the attached articles about Amos Oz and a review of the book Jews and Words by Rabbi Jeffrey Falick.

 “The situation of the Jews is unique in some ways. We are an international people. How we look and sound and what we value as Jews all differ depending upon

where we have found ourselves. Yet somehow, despite our wildly varying circumstances, we have managed to remain profoundly connected. We share a collective

cultural story and identity that crosses time and space.” Amos Oz and his daughter, Oz-Salzberger, argue this is because of Jewish texts.
