Bad Dating Stories

Register here [1].

We’ve all had them. We don’t like remembering them. But they make for great conversations. Bad Dating Stories.

Join us on March 21st on Zoom to share your Bad Dating Story in small groups and together with everyone – and remember the worse the story, the better the conversation!

In this social literary gathering, you will each have a chance to share your story and listen to others, and make new friends. You might even realize your story isn’t as bad as you thought – in comparison at least.

Led by Penina Shtauber, the conversation will be concluded by a performative reading of a selected story from her short story collection, #ShidduchCrisis.

To join the Zoom meeting you need to register for the event. (Those who register will receive a link to the Zoom session via email.) The event will also be broadcast live through the Jerusalism Facebook Page [2]. For updates and links to Penina’s work, check out the Facebook Event Page [3].

A little about the MC:

Penina Shtauber is the author of two short story collections reflecting her nuanced perspective on Jewish Orthodox dating and early marriage: #ShidduchCrisis and #ShalomBayis. Through guided art and writing workshops, she leads participants to find their own unique lens to tell their stories. Penina holds a BFA from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
