A recent show and workshop of Noa Baum, an Israeli storyteller based on her book, A Land Twice Promised: An Israeli Woman’s Quest for Peace, was held at Temple Israel in Albany. One hundred and twenty attended the performance, which, according to organizers, is meant to show how to build bridges for dialogue when there are conflicting narratives.
