Maggid HaMakom

Arthur Strimling Arthur Strimling has been a member of Kolot Chayeinu since its inception and has been telling stories here all the while. Some years ago, we decided to formalize that relationship and appointed him Maggid HaMakom, or storyteller of this place. As a Jewish storyteller, Arthur carries on in the great tradition of the Jewish maggid, a teller, a teacher, a traveling font of wisdom and lore. We are lucky to be able to hear him. Now you can read him, too:
