Filled with princesses and witches, dybbuks and wonder-working rebbes, the two hundred marvelous tales that make up this delightful compendium were gathered during the 1920s and 1930s by ethnographers in the small towns and villages of Eastern Europe. Collected from people of all walks of life, they include parables and allegories about life, luck, and wisdom; tales of magic and wonder; stories about rebbes and their disciples; and tales whose only purpose is to entertain. Long after the culture that produced them has disappeared, these enchanting Yiddish folktales continue to work their magic today.
Presents more than 200 marvelous tales, never before published, from the vivid world of Eastern European Jewry.

reviewed Yiddish Folktales on August 18, 2014 Yiddish Folktales
You don't have to be Jewish to love Yiddish Folktales, but it couldn't hurt. As good as chicken soup for giving the reader a warm wonderful feeling. There's a wide range in the 178 folktales here: allegories, children's stories, pious tales, and humorous tales, not to mention ghosts, golems, villains, elves, and dibbuks. My favorites were Wisdom or Luck, Poverty Grows and Grows, Good Manners and Foolish Khushim. The traditional Jewish folk art paper cuts, popular in 19th and 20th century Russia and Poland, lend a graphic folky touch.
