The site provides Jewish perspectives on contemporary issues of social and economic justice. They focus on domestic issues only; no foreign policy, no Middle East, no Israel. Issues include those living in the United States without access to quality health care, housing, education, childcare, or a clean environment; those who work for low-wages, in unstable jobs, or are unemployed; those who struggle against discrimination and bigotry; those who are victims of violence and abuse. They often have LGBT related commentary from clergy and laypeople. Close

Storahtelling promotes Jewish cultural literacy through original theatrical performances and educational programs for multi-generational audiences. Using twenty-first century performance art techniques, Storahtelling brings personal contemporary meaning to 5,000 years of Jewish tradition. They have developed four program models to accomplish their mission: synagogue-based ritual performances (Shultime), theatrical productions that adapt Jewish myths and rituals for a popular audience (Showtime), training programs that familiarize artists and educators in local communities with the Storahtelling technique (Schooltime), and a re-imagined worship arena for the 21st century (RituaLab). Founder Amichai Lau-Lavie also performs in drag as Rebbetzin Hadassah Gross, an irreverent but relevant, six-times widowed Holocaust survivor who speaks around the world about Jewish women's issues.
