Synopsis

Rabbi Ed Feinstein narrates thirty-six classic and modern folktales that transmit our culture, inform our values, and educate our people. Stories take readers from ancient Israel to the European shtetl, to modern day Israel and America. Each story concludes with questions that explore the story's themes and translate its lessons to the readers' lives.

The book is divided into six sections:

1. What Really Matters in Life: Stories about the real purposes of life
2. Doing What's Right: Stories about our responsibilities toward one another and our communities.
3. It's Up to You: Stories about activism and taking a stand
4. Teachers and Friends: Stories about the importance of leaders and role models
5. Hidden Truths: Stories that teach us to look inside ourselves for answers
6. The Miracle of Jewish Life: Stories about Jewish perseverance and the miracles that make our survival possible

SPECIAL FEATURE:

A Values Index lets readers locate stories relevant to subjects as diverse as activism, collective responsibility, love and marriage, and self-discovery.
