About this title

From School Library Journal

YA --Storytelling has been a part of Jewish tradition for over five millenia, and this collection represents the great wealth of diversity of places, cultures, and experiences within the vast geological and time variations of the Diaspora's history and the period prior to Jewish written history. Included are not only the major figures of Jewish history from the Maccabees to modern day heroes of the Holocaust, but also the wisdom of the Jewish spiritual leaders. For storytelling by students and teachers and for general reading by all, this book is unsurpassed, for it represents the best of centuries of tried and perfected stories of masters.
