“My Grandma Ida was born in Lumza, Poland. This is a story about her childhood, my childhood, and the gift of dreams and imagination. “
There is always possibility and joy. Rejoice! Regardless is a monumental weave of personal stories throughout a Kurdish Jewish Fairytale collected in the 1940s in Jerusalem called What a Beautiful Road. Laura tells stories of her childhood in Brooklyn, working in a displaced persons camp in Haiti, with Gypsy women in Romania, and hearing the violin music of a survivor who lived in her attic in Boro Park.
Join us for Spark! an evening with local storytellers who share personal stories inspired by Jewish or Jewish-related music. Whether it’s a prayer melody, a Broadway hit, a summer camp tune or even a Christmas song by Irving Berlin, music can spark a story.
An afternoon of building community through storytelling, workshops, and tales from the pulpit.
