Tell It Like It Is: Portland's Jewish Storytelling Festival
What's more Jewish than a great story?
"Stories and storytelling are fundamental to the Jewish worldview." says Rabbi Rose. In celebration of this, Shaarie Torah is pleased to host Tell It Like It Is: Portland's Jewish Storytelling Festival this upcoming May 2 & 3 with featured Storytellers: Maggid Cassandra Sagan, Sacred Storyteller Brian Rohr and Musician/Teller Eric Stern of Vagabond Opera. The Jewish Federation of Portland is co-sponsoring.
This Festival will bring together classical and maggid-style storytelling, moth-style personal narrative, storytelling workshops for those who want to learn the art, and even events for kids. The Festival culminates in a performance by the magnificent Bohemian Cabaret ensemble Vagabond Opera.
"Each story in the Torah and stories from our sages points us toward some new way to comprehend the world," continues Rabbi Rose, "We even derive law from these narratives. But even beyond the Torah, stories from our collective past and family legend are just so much a part of how we make sense of the Jewish experience."
About the event, Rabbi Rose says, "The event is going to be a lot of fun some professional master storytellers in the classic mode, some maggidot trained in the Jewish spiritual tradition, some Moth-style, edgier kind of stuff, and some really great music. This will be a great event for the whole community for people who are plugged in Jewishly looking to explore storytelling in greater depth, people who are into storytelling and are curious about the Jewish angle and for people who are just looking for something engaging."
