A book is never a solo adventure. Therefore, there are many people who encouraged me and helped to make this book possible. First of all, my heartfelt thanks and gratitude go to my dear friend Arthur Kurzweil. It is his love of story that has spurred so many of us to collect and write our stories for publication by Jason Aronson Inc. He has achieved the distinction of publishing more Jewish collections of stories than any other publisher. My profound gratitude goes to the sixty-eight contributors whose stories make up this book. Every one of them contributed worthwhile and inspiring stories with open hearts! This is indeed an international group which includes five storytellers who live in Israel, one from Turkey, and two from Canada. I want to also express my nakhat (Jewish pride) that several students from my various workshops and Yeshiva University storytelling courses who have continued telling stories are also part of this collection: Rachayl Eckstein Davis, Cantor Nancy R. Ginsberg, Naftali Haleva, Rabbi David Holtz, Nina Jaffe, Eliezer Shore, and also my daughter Rebecca Schram-Zafrany. It is from my students, and from all of the storytellers, that I continue to learn. I am delighted that the talented artist Lisa Rauchwerger has given permission to include her wondrous apple tree in 4 seasons illustration. I am very fortunate to know all the people who have contributed to this book.
There are two friends I wish to thank for the time they took to brainstorm ideas with me and to offer their good suggestions (which I always respect) in regard to this book: Howard Schwartz and Cherie Karo Schwartz. I feel especially grateful that Rabbi Avi Weiss said yes when I asked him to adapt his keynote address as the foreword to this book. He has continually inspired me personally with his manner, his voice, his listening, his learning, and his stories. They are all part of his neshamah, which reaches out to teach in a most beautiful wayand I listen and learn.
I want to express my appreciation to Gioia Timpanelli for her idea to include a story in memory of Reuven Gold, a storyteller whose voice is still heard through his remembered stories by many. In her introduction and in Howard Schwartzs story, The Storyteller (listed alphabetically under Gold), they capture the essence of Reuven and his spiritual storytelling legacy.
While this book was being edited, we heard the news of the death of the rebbe of rebbes of storytelling and singing, Reb Shlomo Carlebach, on October 20, 1994. His voice remains in our memories and in our hearts as the master teller of tales and sweet singer of Israel. I feel fortunate that he had contributed one of his special stories to this collection.
Since a book is a cooperative effort, there are many talented and skilled people who helped to produce this book, including the production editor, Janet Warner, the copy editor, Nicole Balant, and the director of editorial production, Muriel Jorgensen.
I continue to be appreciative of my husband, Jerry Thaler, who is always there with insights and encouragement for me to continue with all of my storytelling ventures. I respect his wisdom and perspective. On a personal note, I am also qvelling that my son, Michael Schram, has now discovered the excitement of telling stories he has listened to all his life. This has given me added impetus to gather more stories from storytellers everywhere so that we can continue, with strength, to transmit our wonderful Jewish legacy.
