Description

The folktales in this remarkable collection offer traditional Jewish answers to some of the age-old questions that children of all cultures ask their elders: How are we judged by God? Can we change our fate? Children will eagerly read and re-read these stories, watching as each tale unfolds into a magic carpet upon which a child's imagination can soar all the way to...paradise.
