Stories We Tell

Judaism #234

Judaism has a deep and rich tradition of storytelling, of passing down stories from one generation to the next. To carry on that tradition, Stories We Tell, from ReformJudaism.org, will share a new story with you every Thursday. Whether you listen while driving to work, preparing Shabbat dinner, or taking your kids to school, each episode will give you a new story to reflect on and discuss with the people in your life. Stories We Tell is a project of the Union for Reform Judaism, a leading voice in the discussion of modern Jewish life.

    My wonderful companion
    I am a Jew of choice living in a country (Philippines) without a reformed Judaism community. This podcast along with Rabbi Rick Jacobs’ “on the other hand” have been my resource to continue my Jewish learning and to connect to my inner self, as I reflect on the meaning of the stories to my Jewish life. Thank you so much for these stories, and please keep this podcast doing. This means so much to me.

    Best way to learn
    I am converting and feel like hearing these stories reaches me more than anything I can read. They are obviously so much more than just the words spoken. It gives cultural knowledge, important values and it has been wonderful to hear. I feel more like I understand and feel less outside looking in.
  • Zach Martinucci
    Important work for our tradition

  • Mazals

    I look forward to these stories every week!

    A Perfect Heart
    I am enjoying all of these wonderful stories. A Perfect Heart resonates in my world, as my daughter had a life saving heart transplant when she was a teenager. She lived an extra nine years with the heart of another beating inside of her. Together they were perfect!
  • Mage of Life
    Keeping a rich tradition
    I love these stories, and I'm overjoyed to have an easily accessible way to share in more of our shared culture.
