The power of story in building Jewish Identity with Peninnah Schram & Yom Ha'Atzmaut Special

Raising Jewish kids. Special guest Master storyteller Peninnah Schram, AKA the mother of renewal Jewish oral tradition.

Peninnah Schram talks about power of story in building Jewish identity with Evelyn “Ms. Eve” Goldfinger from @torahtron

We dedicate this episode to the elevation of the souls of fallen soldiers of Israel and Israeli terror victims as we commemorate Yom HaZikaron. We also express our gratitude and support to the Modern state of Israel, 75 years old since its rebirth, with over 3000 years in existence.

This conversation is inspired by “Words From My Heart, the hands on Jewish Prayer Book”, which helps children and their grownups explore spirituality and Jewish prayer.❤️ Words From My Heart… is a hands-on, scrapbook-style book that includes activities, games, songs, Hebrew words, and prayers. You can ORDER at www.shalomeve.com or at Amazon. Also available en ESPAÑOL Listen to the Raising Jewish Kids podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music or on Audible.

My favorite takeaways:

🌟 Storytelling is a dialogue, a conversation. It’s about giving and receiving. The teller, the story, and the active listener.They all shape the xperience.

🌟 Torah begins with stories rather than we Halachah (Jewish law). Why? Because through stories we learn values, ethic, traditions, customs. Because the best thing we can give children are a sense of wonder and curiosity. When we make stories our own by listening and imagining, it is af if we were there.

🌟 The voice is a musical instrument. Nothing can replace human contact.
