This book contains fifty-five of the most engaging fables and parables the Jewish tradition has to offer. It includes ancient tales taken from the Talmud and the Midrash, parables articulated by the rabbis of the Middle Ages, and more recent fables told by the charismatic leaders of the Hassidic Movement. If you take them seriously, these stories may make a real impact on the way you view your life.


Jewish readers may discover in these tales the wisdom of their ancestors. Teachers and educators may find them handy for preparing lectures and stimulating class debates. Parents may use them as instructive bedtime stories. And anyone else - no matter what his or her religious conviction or cultural background may be - would surely enjoy perusing through these enchanting tales of kings and princesses, mirrors and spoons, lions and foxes.


Industry Reviews


"Uri Kaplan has assembled a remarkable collection of stories whose charm lures the reader into wisdom that springs like a trap. Koans for the unsuspecting, these stories offer an enlightenment measured in quiet smiles and wistful moments of realization. Showing very clearly that the clothing of truth is the fable, the tale, and the parable, this book is an enchantment that hones the necessary art of listening."


David Morgan, Duke University Professor of Religious Studies
