Education
Education introductory copy to come.
If weather’s making both the “big” and little kids restless, fire up your computer and enjoy a story read aloud via Your Jewish Neighborhood, Temple Isaiah’s podcast. Temple Librarian Val Morehouse is the storyteller, hosted by Michele Holtz for YJN.
Tales picked appeal to adults and to children. The library owns each title read, and Val recommends reading the print version as well for the quality of the colorful artwork. To play, a high-speed internet connection, computer with internet browser, sound card, and speakers, are needed. Most computers come so equipped. Below are six satisfying Jewish stories, with internet URL’s to get you listening after just a few mouse clicks. Paste the URL into your browser; hit search, then click the play button when the podcast is found.
