One’s beliefs are like a fine gem. When one looks at a gem, they don’t look at just one facet, but the whole stone

People of all ages enjoy stories. They laugh, sigh, cry, and smile as they enjoy age-old lessons and tales of Jewish communities throughout the world.
In the past, Jewish storytellers (maggidim) traveled from community to community to strengthen th…

The best way to handle an interruption is one I never heard!
Several years ago I attended the Colonial Williamsburg Storytelling Festival. It was an windy autumn day that made the performance tents flap and boom. As I crossed the festival grounds a…

Jonatha Wright said… - Hi Marc, I had not gone to the tandem group for awhile. I have been too busy editing and publishing my book on tandem: "Team Up! Tell In Tandem!" As to your July question. Yes, my husband and I have done some gender bending in our tandems. The best example is my becoming many of the young boys in our stories. I also am sometimes a male monster. It works well, and is fun to do. It also allows us to choose stories that have more than two people easier. Hope you are still giving this a try. How is it? Nice to meet you. Jonatha Wright

Gail de Vos said… - Thanks Marc, ironically enough I am heading down to Medicine Hat this morning for a couple of days! I will definitely check out the discussions upon my return to my computer.
Thanks for starting this group -- my Jewish roots have been honed by the Jewish stories I tell and research.
Yours in stories,
Gail

Limor Shiponi said… - Hi Marc,
Thank you for the message. Yes, the 'exact' picture is always in the eyes of the beholder and different people interprate what is going on in different ways. Just like in storytelling, what plot will be presented out of the entire narrative is the role of the teller and what he or she think their audiences want to hear. The media does not really tell a story, it is not balanced within a responsiable form. What would "balanced" be? the same ammount of footage? the same themes? the media in general does not seek to present the ins and outs of events. It looks for strong fast drama, use and discard.
Cest la vie. Sabbat Shalom, Limor.

Yoel Perez said… - Thank you Marc,
I come from a Spanish-Jewish famely and part of my repertoire are stories that I heard from my mother. I collected many stories from traditional storytellers from many places - Yemen, Iran, Afghnistan and so on. We have an academic archive of folktales with about 24.000 stories from Jewish, Arab, Druse and other groups in Israel.
Recently my friend Prof. Dan Ben Amos began a project of 5 volumes of Jewish stories from the archive "Folktales of the Jews" Two volumes are already printed. you can write to me directly yoelprz@netvision.net.il if you want to here more.
all the best
Yoel
