Warm Up for the Holy Days with Joel Ben Izzy!

Storyteller Joel ben Izzy will be returning to Congregation Shomrei Torah to share S’lichot and high-holiday themed tales, both traditional and modern. Join us for a fun, participatory way to ease into the holidays, including the changing of the Torah mantels to Holy Day white, Havdalah, and a sweet nosh for a sweet New Year!

For over thirty-five years, Joel ben Izzy has traveled the globe, gathering and telling tales, from Tel Aviv to Tokyo, Paris to Petaluma, and Chelm to Chotzenplotz. He has recorded six award-winning CDs and is the author of two highly acclaimed books, The Beggar King and The Secret of Happiness and Dreidels on the Brain. Always a popular Shomrei Torah guest, we are delighted to welcome him back to help us kick off 5780!
