Ten Classic Jewish Children's Stories » (1 PBK ED)

The stories in this book have become part of the legacy that links both the written tradition (The Torah) and the oral tradition (the Talmud) to the Jewish people.

Each story concludes with a "Now Consider This" section designed to enrich your child's learning experience.

Reminiscent in format and length of the Shari Lewis One-Minute Stories, these ten Jewish stories are briefly retold in simple and reassuring tones. For the most part, they are Biblical stories; and the focus is more on the universality of lessons learned than on religious characters or events. There are discussion questions at the end of each story that seem designed for use in religious school settings, though families might have fun discussing them as well. In these stories, rabbis become more learned, fools become wise, and universal truths are put in the hands of the common folk.
