A virtual event presentation by Maggid Jim Brulé
The event was co-sponsored by Temple Emanual
About the Event:
Stories have the power to entertain, inform, enlighten, and motivate. They also have the power to heal. Maggid Brulé will weave together traditional Jewish stories from a variety of cultures, interspersed with reflections on the reasons that stories affect us so deeply and opportunities for discussion and dialogue.
