Fanciful stories of wonder and magic fill the pages of this charming collection of tales, derived from talmudic and midrashic folklore.
Inspired by stories recounted by her late father-in-law, a rabbi, Gershator assembles 10 of her favorites here--the ones that made her laugh or touched her with their messages and miracles. Taking spiritual and folkloric elements from the ancient teachings of the sages, she blends in her own humor, magic, and wisdom to put a unique spin on tales that have endured for generations.
The stories teach moral lessons and truths while sprinkling jokes, surprises, and happy endings throughout. Tales of flying rabbis, miraculous loaves of bread, wise women, muscle-bound angels, and goats that carry bears on their heads will delight children of all ages. And Alexa Ginsburg's lighthearted illustrations capture the enchantment of these timeless legends.
"This delightful collection of stories...blends wisdom with humor... the illustrations and inviting format join with the stories to comprise one outstanding package!" -- Jewish Book World
