The 2006-07 Jewish Community Endowment Fund Lecture

In this riveting lecture, acclaimed writer Amos Oz shares both his family's past and his opinions about Israel's strengths. He covers a wide breadth of stories and topics, including: the struggle of picking the right cheese, how Israel is the fulfillment of dreams, his similarity to a mailman, why he wants tragedy and comedy to be one and the same, his parents' unhappiness, a memory about the mayor of Jerusalem, unrequited love for Europe, how diversity contributes to Israel's strength, and many more.

Introductions by Steven Zipperstein, Daniel E. Koshland Professor in Jewish Culture and History, and Vered Shemtov, Eva Chernov Lokey Senior Lecturer in Hebrew and Comparative Literature, Division of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages, Stanford University.
