Abstract
This study analyzes Jewish protagonists' relationship to nature in texts by four Austrian Jewish writers. The religious Jews connect with nature on a metaphysical level, where wind, water, and the heavens symbolize God's presence. The article also speculates on the significance of the portrayal of nature for the writers' Jewish identities.
