Title: Fables from the Jewish tradition
Description: This book presents a varied group of 40 fables which can be found scattered through the Talmud and in certain collections of midrashim. More than stories about talking animals and their interactions with each other and with humans, the fables offer readers--including children--a way into understanding the Talmud and Midrash. The notes and essay help to explain the Jewish teachings in the fables. --From publisher's description.
