Here are some examples of topics: Impressions from your first visit to Israel; Jewish summer camp stories; Earliest Jewish memory from childhood; What makes you most proud to be a Jew?; How Temple Sinai has affected my Jewish life/identity; Unusual family customs and traditions; Interesting stories related to travel to Jewish places; How where I was raised affected my Jewish identity; People who have influenced my Jewish identity; Commandments I would add to the original ten; Why and how I feel connected to other Jews. Be certain to read all of our past stories! |

| The Jewish people are a people of stories. Throughout our history, telling stories has been a crucial way of imparting wisdom, conveying behavioral norms, inspiring action, connecting with God and the community, and deepening our own spiritual life. Regardless of their content, the stories we tell are sacred. When we share our stories with others, we open ourselves up to finding new meaning in them ourselves, and impart meaning on the reader/listener.
The Jewish Living Committee is spearheading an effort for congregants to share their stories. The Chicken Soup for the Sinai Soul project highlights thoughts, writings, and expressions of congregant partners on themes of Jewish content. They are then folded into the Mosaic, Sinai Scene, and other synagogue communications. We invite you to submit thoughts, experiences, and stories by sending them to Rabbi Litwak. Please understand that we will not be able to use all submissions and we will edit them to fit our space constraints. We hope that you will nurture your own soul and those of your fellow congregant partners by sharing your stories. |
