Although the 46 tales in this collection are as varied as the countries or regions from which they come Poland, central Asia, and Morocco, for example nearly all of them have been carried and passed on by immigrants to America. As a result, this collection is a world tour between two covers, but not at the expense of the unifying element common to these stories: their uniquely Jewish flavor, an emphasis on doing the right thing, on surviving by cleverness and kindness and on the need for keeping ....
The 46 stories in this collection are as varied as their origins--Poland, Morocco, Yemen, and Spain, to name a few--yet all possess a unifying element: a uniquely Jewish flavor, "an emphasis on doing the right thing, on surviving by cleverness and kindness--and the need for keeping a good sense of humor."

Okay, so this really doesn't count as a full book read because I just read the titular story in a digital copy of the book on Google Books, but I don't know if this translation of the story is listed on its own, so, yeah, just gonna rate it this way. (I'll delete it if I do find a page the story on its own on here.)
It's a VERY short story, but it's still cute. Easy to understand, and I like how clever the main character is. The end was honestly a twist I didn't see coming, but was, again, quite clever.
Of course, I was drawn to the story because of the title. But even I don't think I am as clever as the Rachel in this story. Though I wish I could be.
Also, in trying to find this story, I stumbled across some blog post where someone joked about wishing this Rachel could become the next Disney princess. And while I don't know how they'd be able to expand this story into a feature-length film, I'd definitely like to see it. At least to give some representation to us Jews, and allow me to unofficially become a Disney princess.
But alas, a girl can dream...
