nce upon a time in
a faraway place... |
Reb Tobesman's tales are gathered
from many places throughout the world. He follows the rich tradition
of storytelling as he delivers lessons and enjoyment while he
entertains in the tradition of the maggidim of old.
Stories go beyond time in space. Storytelling requires
no special facilities or technical settings. Storytelling is a
perfect feature for any event The artistry of this maggid as a master
is not only how he speaks, but in the what he says. He is
electrifying not only his delivery, but for the thoughts he shares as
he touches the Jewish soul. No matter whether it is a parable,
chasidic tale, or a story, much can be gained from this maggid's
programs. Reb Tobesman's stones allow him to tailor his programs to a
particular theme, holiday, or historical event.

Jewish and Chasidic
Kum't arein alle yiddische kinder fun eintz to a hundred und tzvanzik
(Gather around all Jewish children from 1 to 120 years)
"…Tobesman
teaches through stories and tells Jewish stories… He stirs the
memory and sparks the heart and soul of everyone." Palm Beach
Post
Unlike the intricately reasoned
sermons of a congregational rabbi, this maggid utilizes many
anecdotes, parables, and stories to raise the spiritual awareness of
the listener. Reb Tobesman takes the listeners on a journey to
another time and every place the Jewish people have been.
The very backdrop to the maggid's
stories is attractive to its listeners allowing one to
peek into the beliefs, and lifestyles of a vanishing age of a faraway
world and reminding them that the messages are eternal - just as
strong today as they were
yesterday.
Medieval Tales
Rachmiel Tobesman, Royal keeper of
Lists and Legends, Chronicler of Times and Places and Teller of Tales
You who so plod amid
serious things that you feel it shame to give yourself up even for a
few short moments to mirth and joyousness in the land of Fancy; you
who think that life hath nought to do with innocent laughter that can
harm no one; these tales are not for you. Close your ears and go your
away. For I bring tales of a whole host of knights, priests, nobles,
burghers, yeomen, pages, ladies, lasses, land-lords, beggars,
pedlers, and what not, all living the merriest of merry lives, and
all bound by nothing but a few odd words which draw these jocund
fellows here and there, singing as they go
