Jews and Words: An Israeli Proposal
Featuring Fania Oz-Salzberger
Monday, October 7, from 4:00-5:30 PM
Prince George’s Room, Stamp Student Union
Following the publication of Jews and Words (Yale, 2012) co-authored with her father, novelist Amos Oz, historian Fania Oz-Salzberger presents the book's main arguments about Jewish history, continuity, and nationhood beyond religion. Reconsidering the power of words and ideas, the book and the lecture offer a fresh Israeli perspective on the importance of "textlines" for families, societies and cultures in general.
Fania Oz-Salzberger is a Professor of History in the Faculty of Law at the University of Haifa. She has published widely in the fields of political philosophy and intellectual history.
Books will be available for sale. Light refreshments will be served.
