By the River: Women’s Voices in Jewish Stories

• Parents’ Choice Recommended Award
• Storytelling World Winner Award

Jewels, pomegranate seeds and tambourines…
Girls who speak what they know,
women meeting by the river,
a princess in moonlight, onions worth diamonds,
and wise women who lead us to freedom.

“Each of the six stories on this CD can influence listeners to rethink their strategies for problem solving. The Magic Pomegranate Seed carries a powerful message for those who judge others or who determine punishments for specific crimes….” Parents’ Choice review 

In these new twists on traditional Jewish folktales and midrashim, Cindy Rivka Marshall tells stories that speak from women’s hearts and minds.

“Cindy Rivka Marshall’s new CD is a landmark in women’s stories. I especially love her brilliant version of ‘A Garment for the Moon.'” 
—Howard Schwartz, author of Tree of Souls: The Mythology of Judaism

“There’s more to the events leading up to the Exodus from Egypt than what we read in the Hagaddah. On her recent CD, By the River: Women’s Voices in Jewish Stories, gifted storyteller Cindy Rivka Marshall offers a beautiful rendition of the story of Miriam, inspired by midrashim, that explores the pivotal role her prophesy plays in the birth of her brother, Moses… a meaningful gift for daughters, their mothers and the rest of the family.”
