Storytelling

Curbside Prophet

With Baruch and Shayndel. Torah, stories, and whatever is actually going on, which is not always the same thing.

7 years of it, in no particular order. Start anywhere.

Portrait of Shayndel Plotkin

Shayndel Plotkin has written for The Times of Israel as a featured guest writer since the winter after October 7th, in essays, poems and letters that follow the Jewish year from the sukkah to Sinai. She writes as a mother, as a volunteer who has gone back to rebuild homes on the kibbutzim along the Gaza border, and as a woman learning, in her own words, to quiet the fear and hear the faith.
