Plot

In this remarkable holiday collection, rabbis famous for their knowledge and special powers bring about miracles, reveal the secret meanings of dreams and names, and contend with angels and enchantments. Each of these tales from around the world combines elements of magic with a link to a Jewish holiday. These memorable stories, passed down orally for many generations, have been collected for the first time here, and are enriched by Monique Passicot's luminous illustrations.
