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.

Five Minutes
One morning Lisa woke up extra hungry, and her mom told her that she would have breakfast ready in five minutes. While she waited, Lisa put on her clothes and got dressed, but the five minutes still hadn’t passed. Time was moving so slowly! Later that day, while she was playing at her friend David’s house, her mom called her home in the middle of the game they were playing to eat lunch. Time moved so quickly! Why did that happen? Jerry Kaye retells the story.
