Stories from the Tribe: Cincinnati

Join us for an Evening of Storytelling + Community

Stories From the Tribe is Cincy Jewfolk’s biggest night of the year — a joyful evening of Jewish storytelling that also fuels everything we do.

For one unforgettable evening, 12 community members take the bima to share their true Jewish stories – about family, the generations that shape us, and the complicated, hilarious, sacred, and sometimes messy experience of being Jewish today.

Some stories will make you laugh.
Some might make you cry.
All of them will remind you that the threads connecting us as Jews – across generations, identities, and experiences – are stronger than we sometimes realize.

In this moment, when the world feels heavy, gathering together in Jewish community matters more than ever. Stories from the Tribe is a chance to pause, breathe, laugh, and remember that our stories are what keep Jewish life vibrant.

Stories From the Tribe is Cincy Jewfolk’s signature annual fundraiser. When you give, you ensure that Jewish voices are heard and Jewish stories are told. Your donation sustains the independent Jewish journalism, storytelling, podcasts, and community connections that Cincy Jewfolk delivers year round.

Thank you for joining with us to amplify Jewish voices. Storytelling isn’t just what we do – it’s how we build Jewish community.

How Stories from the Tribe Is Shaped

Stories from the Tribe reflects Jewfolk, Inc.’s core values of Storytelling – Sipur Sipurim and Connection – Chibur. By centering real voices from our community, this live show links past and future through the lived experiences of our storytellers today. Every story shared on the bima is shaped by the authentic perspectives, humor, and emotion of the storytellers themselves, creating a space where our community can laugh, reflect, and connect. Through Jewfolk, Inc.’s Human Centered Design approach, the show is designed around what our community wants to see, hear, and feel, making storytelling an act of engagement, reflection, and shared Jewish identity and community.
