5.0 out of 5 stars Every Jewish home needs this book of Jewish stories.

The translation is impeccable and I love that it tells you where the stories are sourced. It lets you look it up in the authentic hebrew/aramaic and also know when there is a story which is not sourced anywhere and the primary source is here! AMAZING!
