Description

In this holiday collection, rabbis famous for their knowledge and powers--including women rabbis--bring about miracles, reveal the secret meanings of dreams and names, and contend with angels, dybbuks, and enchantments. Noted folklorist Howard Schwartz retells twelve Jewish tales from around the world. Each tale combines elements of magic with a link to a Jewish holiday (including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah, Purim, and Passover), plus Shabbat, the weekly Sabbath."This beautiful collection of Jewish stories is true to its heritage....[with] universal appeal."--Kirkus Reviews on Next Year in Jerusalem - from Amzon
