Stories We Tell: Feeding Your Clothes

Judaism has a deep and rich tradition of storytelling, of passing down stories from one generation to the next. To carry on that tradition, Stories We Tell, from ReformJudaism.org, will share a new story with you every Thursday. Whether you listen while driving to work, preparing Shabbat dinner, or taking your kids to school, each episode will give you a new story to reflect on and discuss with the people in your life. Stories We Tell is a project of the Union for Reform Judaism, a leading voice in the discussion of modern Jewish life. 

Rabbi Marc Katz tells the story of a fabulous party hosted by a man who was eager to show his beautiful home to his friends and neighbors. On the night of the party he stands at the door, greeting his guests one by one. But what happens when a beggar appears at the door? Listen to this episode of Stories We Tell to find out what the party host learns the hard way about greeting the stranger.
