Ozzie’s Scrapbook

Jewish writer, Ozzie Nogg, shares personal essays, off-beat Talmudic tidbits, and random observations on life, all inspired by her upbringing as a rabbi's daughter who now (sigh . . . ) views the world through trifocals.

Take a peek at
my book of stories:
Joseph's Bones

Here's what they're saying about Joseph's Bones:

"Readers of Joseph's Bones will not only enjoy the charm of Ozzie Nogg's writing. They will be transported along with her to sweet reminiscences of life with their own families in times gone by. This book is a delight; it informs and inspires. Do not be misled by its small size; its message is love, tenderness, and joy writ large. You will want to read it more than once."

— Rabbi Jules Harlow
Editor and translator of Sim Shalom, the Conservative movement's prayer book

“…One of the most moving, well-written memoirs of life in small Jewish communities, Joseph's Bones is a wonderful read. I laughed, I cried, I loved it! This honest, intimate work proves that Ozzie Nogg is Omaha's gift to Jewish literature.”

— Dr. Ron Wolfson
Vice President,
University of Judaism

"Three generations of my family sat and read Joseph's Bones together. We laughed, gasped, shed a tear, and genuinely enjoyed sharing them. Ozzie's delightful stories touched all of us."
