Welcome to the 2026 emcee

Today, we’re thrilled to share that our third annual storytelling show will once again be emceed by the incredible Jordana Green, co-host of The Adam & Jordana Show on WCCO Radio. This stunning night of stories – and storytelling – is what brings Jordana back each year.

“The way they make you laugh, the way they make you think, the way people are vulnerable, and oftentimes you’re nodding along like that,” Jordana said. “You can relate. When someone tells a story, you say, ‘Me too.’ It’s so unifying that so many other people are having similar experiences.”

Jordana called the event a “unifying experience.”

“It just makes you feel good,” she said. “There are so few things in this world, without feeling like you’re under attack as humans and as Jews, yeah. And this is such a positive event that is like sharing stories. [Storytelling] is as old as time, and it’s great that we get to do this in this modern age.”

“I get a lot of pleasure and joy out of being involved in this. And while I might not be telling my own story, just any kind of peripheral connection that I can have, I’m grateful.”

Like all of the audience, Jordana hears the stories for the first time during the show, the surprise she often shows coming back to introduce the next storyteller is genuine. 

“Being surprised, being delighted, is the most human reaction you can have,” she said. “And Stories from the Tribe gives us that.”

About the show

An event by TC Jewfolk produced by Galit Breen, the original Minnesota Mammaleh and co-producer of Listen to Your Mother Twin Cities for the last decade+.

For one unforgettable evening, 12 community members take the bima to share their true Jewish stories – about family, the generations that shape us, and the complicated, hilarious, sacred, and sometimes messy experience of being Jewish today.

Some stories will make you laugh and some might make you cry. But all of them will remind you that the threads connecting us as Jews – across generations, identities, and experiences – are stronger than we sometimes realize.

In this moment, when the world feels heavy, gathering together in the Jewish community matters more than ever. Stories from the Tribe is a chance to pause, breathe, laugh, and remember that our stories are what keep Jewish life vibrant.

This show will be at Beth El Synagogue in St. Louis Park, and it is on Monday, June 22, at 7 p.m. Seating is General Admission, and the doors will open at 6 p.m.
