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.

Sometimes the Jewish stories take on an interesting twist.
In ages when books were scarce, when noblemen and princes themselves could not read, history, education, and tradition was monopolized by the storyteller. They inherited, generation after...
Since the 80's I have gathered and shared stories of the Jewish spiritual resistance during the Holocaust. Surprizingly, my daughter has statrted to post some of the articles I wrote for several Jewish publications in the 80;s on the web
About a year ago, I heard Pesach Kron tell a wonderful story about his personal odessy in an airport. During the security check, he left a bag behind. Quite a while later he felt a tap on his shoulder. Two security guards stood behind him smiling,...

Once Upon a Time...Tales that Touch the Spirit
Someone asked: “With so many stories why do you mainly tell religious ones?” I have told ancient, medieval, American folktales and Jewish stories in the past, but it seemed that the religious stories were being lost. So many other storytellers tell the vast gamut of secular stories, and every Jewish storyteller tells the Chasidic tales. I chose to tell the biblical, midrashic and medieval Jewish stories so that they will inspire and touch the heart and soul of the listener.

- When I tell "scary Jewish stories" I don't need werewolves or Golems. With the inquistion, the holocaust, smashed windows in Cleveland, Refusniks struggling for simple rights and rats in the Jewish sections of NY at the turn of the century, I don't need much else. Truth is I tell several types of stories, personal, transformations, women's tales, scary tales, historical and "Jewish". But any tale I create and tell will be infused with my Yiddishkeit.

Tom Taylor said… - Rabbi,
Welcome to a grand sort of 'home' for tellers of all stripes.
What a remarkable and impressive background is yours, and what a world of experience(s) you clearly have. You obviously have a great wealth of wisdom to share with a great many tellers on this site (and I'm betting that I'm one of them).
I peeked at your very impressive website, and plan to get back to it and do some digging around very soon.
I look forward to your sharing with the PS Family -
Again, a sincere "Welcome" to you from me -
Tom Taylor - Deep in the Heart of Texas
