Safranim:
Below is a message from Yoel Perez, a storyteller and scholar from Haifa, Israel. I have personally met him in Haifa and we had dinner together.. Donnie ==================== My brothers and sisters: the storytellers. You know me as an Israeli storyteller, whose website *C. **F. F.* – *Center of Folktales and Folklore* (https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://folkmasa.org/a00e.htm__;!!KGKeukY!0ABoMVBCLAYaWD9C8XAJMouqkCthfClyg8FKlCWLokyU31qZj3A7vdbCHh_15WjFDHGvgy2Oh5GreuqUFRtNlAQYbL3fmahAlA$ ) contains a database of nearly 5000 folktales from all over the world ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://folkmasa.org/yashpeh/yashpeh.htm__;!!KGKeukY!0ABoMVBCLAYaWD9C8XAJMouqkCthfClyg8FKlCWLokyU31qZj3A7vdbCHh_15WjFDHGvgy2Oh5GreuqUFRtNlAQYbL1f4_Nsxw$ ). What is happening today in the State of Israel: the terrible massacre that members of the terrorist organization Hamas committed against innocent civilians, and the war forced upon us against our will, is tragic. In response,* The Storytellers Association in Israel* joined the war effort. Many are performing before children and adults displaced from their homes, who have become refugees. Most of the activity is voluntary. I want to support their activity. On the eve of the war, I wrote a love story called *'Sometimes Dreams Come True*'. I published the book in Hebrew and translated it into English. It is a love story that takes place in the magical landscapes of Scotland where I spent some months with my wife. The heroine of the story is a doctor and a storyteller. During the romance she tells her beloved folktales passed down in her family from generation to generation. She connects them to their love story, and reveals to him through the stories some of the hidden secrets of the art of storytelling. This is a book that speaks to the hearts of storytellers, but it is also intended for anyone who enjoys hearing stories and delighting in the wisdom of the generations. Under the guise of what is known as a 'romantic novel', the author allows his readers a glimpse into the magical world of storytellers, relying on the extensive experience he himself has gained as a storyteller. Those of you interested in reading it as *a color digital copy* please contact me and send any amount of money you can donate, from $10 or more *via PayPal* (Yoel Perez +972-507507626). All proceeds will be transferred to the Board of Directors of *The Storytellers Association in Israel*. Funds will be used to continue our activities, particularly at this terrible time. If you send money, please let me know your name, phone No. and Email, so I can send you the digital book. with prayers for peace in our world, and gratitude for your storytelling, Yoel Shalom Perez *Yoel Shalom Perez* is a writer and translator, but before anything else he is a storyteller. The art of storytellers is an ancient art, and Yoel, as a folklore researcher and a member of the Storytellers Association in Israel, works to cultivate the art of oral storytelling among adult audiences alongside other performing arts. -- Daniel D.
