Judaism has a deep and rich tradition of storytelling, of passing down stories from one generation to the next. To carry on that tradition, Stories We Tell, from ReformJudaism.org, will share a new story with you every Thursday. Whether you listen while driving to work, preparing Shabbat dinner, or taking your kids to school, each episode will give you a new story to reflect on and discuss with the people in your life. Stories We Tell is a project of the Union for Reform Judaism, a leading voice in the discussion of modern Jewish life.

A Treasure to Find
A long time ago, shortly before he passed away, a man told his three sons that there was treasure buried in their backyard. Even though they didn’t get along, the brothers immediately got to work. After digging and searching for months, they had torn up the entire yard and still not found a thing. What could they do? Rabbi Marc Katz retells the classic story. For a written version, see The Hidden Treasure in “The Jewish Story Finder” by Sharon Barcan Elswit.
