What is the relationship between Judaism and/or Jewish culture and your poetry?

While Ori’s work only occasionally engages directly with Jewish culture, he is inspired by other Jewish poets and writers, and his culture’s spirituality, folklore, food, debate, and humanistic values impact everything he writes.
