A storyteller for children
Rabbi Daniel Alon works in a different mode than a lecturer: he tells stories to children. His recordings carry titles like "The Bully Who Saved Me," "Only ONE can survive!," and "Never Made It To His Office!" — dramatic, suspenseful pieces built to hold a young audience and land a lesson.
That framing is the key to the page. Rather than shiurim to study, these are stories to listen to, aimed squarely at kids and shaped so that a middos lesson arrives inside an exciting narrative rather than a formal class.
Tisha B'Av children's programs
A clear focus of his work is Tisha B'Av for children. The collection includes a Children's Tisha B'Av Event and a StoryAnytime Children's Tisha B'Av Program for 5785 — annual, age-appropriate programming for the saddest day on the Jewish calendar.
On a day when adults sit and mourn, children need a way in. A story program lets young listeners feel the weight of the day and its lessons of caring for others, without material that is too heavy or too abstract for their age.
How a story teaches
Story titles like "The Bully Who Saved Me" point to how the material works: a character faces a choice, and the outcome carries a value — courage, kindness, or seeing the hand of Hashem in events. The lesson is felt through the plot rather than announced.
Much of this sits under the StoryAnytime banner, a recognizable label for this kind of Jewish children's storytelling. For parents, it is a way to give children Torah content that entertains first and teaches through the telling.
