Please join us for an evening of storytelling.

This innovative collection of Jewish tales puts a modern spin on Jewish folklore by substituting leading male characters will female ones in re-imagined traditional tales, original stories, folktales, and personal stores. Publishers Weekly says, "Creative witty and sly, these stories do valuable work in energizing an ancient storytelling tradition."
