Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-17 00:00:00 Michael Marmura One star for a book I chose not to finish. The introduction was the most interesting part. The stories were dull, and while each author had a different style, I couldn't bring myself to find any potential gems. The editor describes 3 different "levels" of story Jewish-ness. If there had been more where Judaism actually drove the plot, and not incidental to the story, perhaps I would have stayed intrigued.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-08-31 00:00:00 Joe Bosko Eh...not my favorite. Though each style is different, as other reviews mention, things get rather dull. I got about 3/4 through, then I stopped. Also, as reviews mention, the Jewish aspect of the book is small, and is certainly not a root for any of the stories. Not a great book... but if you want to read it, go ahead!
