Agnon Writing Competition
For Jewish high school students worldwide Prose and poetry inspired by the writings of S.Y. Agnon “When does a man write a good story? At the moment he didn’t even think of writing it. It creates itself in his heart. Suddenly he is struck with an unrelenting burn to write, but when he tries to write – it has vanished! I never prepared myself to write a story, and any story I tried to prepare myself to write, I never did commit to paper nor will I ever write them.”
