"What a gift it is! There is no denying the scope, fluidity, and uniqueness of this collection. It brings us storytelling gems from a disappearing world and lovingly polishes them with discourse."-Jewish Book World "Folktales of the Jews is a cross-section of cultures, backgrounds, geographies and stories, with common threads but immeasurable differences, connecting to form an odd, unique and inimitable pastiche of Jewish life."-World Jewish Digest "You will be taken by the poetry and rich cadences of the storytellers."-Jewish Herald-Voice
