Stories of the Season

Stories have carried our people for generations. Oral and written tales have held our traditions for millennia. And stories are about more than entertainment; in stories, we learn about ourselves, others, and our world. Stories ground us. They inspire us. They fuel a ruach - a spirit - we cannot often find elsewhere. Stories chronicle our past and help us make sense of today.

Stories of the Season gives us the opportunity to dance, learn, and sing our ways into these unique holy days. Our K'tanimot (families with newborns, babies, and tots) are invited to gather for holiday fun: music, stories, snacks, and more as we celebrate these special days together!

Each gathering is a stand-alone event - attend one or more. Stories of the Season is catered to our K’tanimot, though all are invited to gather. Stories of the Season takes place indoors and outdoors - rain or shine. All locations are accessible. All materials are provided.
