Laura Simms, one of the pioneers of the American storytelling movement, brings two stories to Congregation Habonim. Grandma Ida’s Diamond Earrings is a true tale about her Polish grandmother from Poland, framed by the story of Laura’s visit to her small city of Lumza. What A Beautiful Road is a fairytale from Jewish Kurdish Iraq. Both stories are about beauty and love.

She is on the Advisory Council for Global Education and is co-director of Mankoro: New Life Foundation. Laura combines traditional stories with personal narrative.
