An Interactive ‘hands-on’ Workshop for Teens, Adults, and Seniors
Global History & Culture, Identity & Responsibility
- Sunday 10:00AM–12:30PM Stardust
Discover how a memory can be shaped into a story and become a gift worth passing on. Storytelling is central to the Jewish tradition and at the heart of human experience, nourishing the deepest roots of heart and mind. We tell to remember who we are. Exploring the unique power of the oral language, we will create a community of tellers and listeners and explore how through the act of telling and listening we can connect to our past and arrive at a sense of self worth and appreciation of others. Note: If you attend this session it is a time commitment of two session slots. Noone will be permitted to enter once the workshop has begun.
