First Saturday – Jewish Storytelling

Sukkot is a Jewish holiday celebrating the harvest and hospitality. Traditions include acknowledging past Jewish heroes as honoured guests. Women’s History Month recognizes the contributions of those often overlooked. In celebration of both, join Jewish storyteller Eden Nameri for family-friendly stories about hidden heroines and the festival of Sukkot.

Eden Nameri tells biblical stories, folk tales and epic romances from a queer Jewish feminist perspective that simultaneously honours and challenges the traditions behind the tales. Eden is an active member of Storytelling Toronto and a frequent teller at 1001 Friday Nights of Storytelling – a weekly open mic that has been running since 1978. As a teller, community member and listener, Eden especially loves stories that illuminate people often absent from mainstream narratives

See the past through their eyes.

Visit with Indigenous and other equity-deserving artist at The Village on the first Saturday of the month. Art connects us to other people. It opens our eyes to different ways of looking at the world around us and the history of the land we call home.
