Booklet - A Rabbit, a Prophet and a King Walk into a Bar.
"A Rabbi, a Prophet, and a King Walk into a Bar" -- sounds like the setup for a joke, and indeed it is, but it is also the entry point into a rich collection of cultural heritage. In "Jewish Stories Every Person Should Know," storyteller Sandy Schuman conveys stories that reveal the heart of Jewish humor, traditions, and values. More than a simple collection, this is a call to action for the oral tradition. Schuman asserts that Jews are the "People of the Story," using narrative as the primary vehicle for transmitting history and beliefs. He encourages readers to learn the "bones" of these stories and "flesh them out" in their own voices. Whether used to teach a child about hospitality or to diffuse a heated argument among colleagues, these stories are designed to be told, heart to heart, wherever they serve a purpose.
Many of us free-thinking types are disinclined to follow rules, especially when those rules are outdated, irrational, or imposed by others who are irrational or, you know, zombies. But there are rules and then there are the Rules of the Game--like the codes for the Game of Being Human. Rev. Christine Tata believes Being Human is the best Game in town, made much more fun when we know the Rules that let us level up as we go. See you on the 25th... (because of course, you Must be Present to Win.)
"I was drawn to this fellowship by the tradition of open discussion, devotion to equality for all, and the concept of individual thought, expression, and search for meaning as detailed in our Values and Aspirations."
