These retellings are beautiful and meaningful, fantastical and true inviting us to honor the traditions and wisdom of the sacred city.

Full of gorgeous illustrations and fascinating historic background, each story will help you deepen your understanding of the Jewish tradition and the words that have helped it survive.
