Sharing Our Stories
Monday, June 6, 7:00 pm
Thursday, June 9, 7:00 pm
Online
We all have stories of our own, or of our communities, our families, or our ancestors. After several years of limited contact, we don’t know as much of each other’s stories as we might.
Let’s connect by coming together to listen to each other and to enjoy the treasures that are found in the stories that make up our lives.
We will get together in small groups, with a facilitator, to take turns telling our stories, with a choice of the following prompts, which can be broadly interpreted:
What is a story that you’ve inherited, or one that gets retold?
- It might be from someone who came before you, or from your community. It could be a story that is told about shared events.
- It could be anything that gets passed down- for example: a family immigration journey; a story of working for social justice; the story behind a special recipe; a surprising or unusual event; something that happened to you or those you know, and which has been shared over time.
What is the story of your journey with Judaism?
- What brought you to your current relationship with Judaism, and what were the stops along the way? Whether you identify as Jewish or not, how has Judaism touched your life?
We’ll start with some zoom-based gatherings, and add some in-person opportunities, as allowed by the TBH Covid policy. Everybody is warmly invited to join—however you identify, and whatever age you are.
If you were at the May TBH Salon, you heard Nancy Snyder speak about the ways that we connect with and through stories. It isn’t necessary to have attended the salon in order to participate, but if you do want to watch the recording, you can access it here.
Registration is required so that we know how many people to expect.
Sign up for either June 6 or June 9 at 7:00.
