Tonight we celebrate Shabbat together through music and prayer and story. Our religion, our history is built from story. Before our Torah was written, our ancestors told our story to one another. Our Torah is story. And everything after Torah is story. Each of our lives are stories and tonight we will create a community of stories by sharing an actual physical object or verbal description of something significant in our lives and in our ancestors’ lives. Tonight is Jewish heirloom Shabbat. Throughout the service, there will be several people who will share ritual objects from their own stories. , Just as Torah is a collection of stories from a long time ago, so too our own family pieces will become a collection of stories-a bit more contemporary than the Torah.
