The Power of Storytelling to Strengthen Jewish Community
For writer and podcaster Zibby Owens (On Being Jewish Now, Blank: A Novel), it was never her plan to center her work around Jewish identity. But as the critical need for Jewish representation and storytelling grew, she started to share more Jewish voices and Israel advocacy on her literary platform.
Zibby's work serves as a model of what happens when you follow your convictions. In honor of the 100th anniversary of Jewish Book Month, this episode will inspire educators to lean into Jewish joy through the power of storytelling. Plus, Zibby shares her favorite books with listeners that have shaped her own sense of Jewish pride!
