Furthermore, the laughter, sobs, and delighted cries of countless listeners also echo in these pages.
Schram, who has written a thoughtful, informative introduction for each story, demonstrates on every page her belief that the stories connect to our lives. And when the lifelike characters woven into Schrams magic tapestry suffer or enjoy the fates they most deserve, we rejoice, secure in their storybook world?a world where justice, however incomprehensible, is always done, and where we attain happiness by living in accordance with Jewish law and in harmony with the worlds natural order.

We identify with the kings and princes, fools and beggars, heroes and leaders, villains and witches of yesteryear because, though our lives are vastly different from theirs, we share their moral choices and experience their dilemmas.
Schram joins Jewish storytellers throughout the ages, linking past to present and preserving an invaluable legacy for generations yet unborn.

Peninnah Schram, storyteller and author, is associate professor of speech and drama at Yeshiva Universitys Stern College and the Founding Director of The Jewish Storytelling Center. She travels, telling stories and conducting workshops on storytelling and the Jewish oral tradition. Peninnahs books include Tales of Elijah the Prophet and Eight Tales for Eight Nights: Stories for Chanukah (coauthored with Steven M. Rosman). She is also the editor of Chosen Tales: Stories Told by Jewish Storytellers. A native of New London, Connecticut, she resides in the New York area.
Many of the stories in this volume, or variants of these tales, along with their motifs and types, have been classified according to the Aarne-Thompson (A-T) system, found in The Types of the Folktale (1964) and Thompsons Motif-Index of Folk Literature (1966) (TMI). Heda Jason added specific Jewish types to her index in Fabula (1965) and in Types of Oral Tales in Israel: Part 2 (1975). These references to tale types and motifs can be especially useful to folklorists, educators, and storytellers who wish to find and compare both Jewish and non-Jewish variants of a tale. The Israel Folktale Archives (IFA), founded in 1956 by Dov Noy, has collected over 17,000 folktales in Israel from storytellers in Israel. These tales are published in the IFA Publication Series, with over thirty-five volumes published by the Haifa Municipality Ethnological Museum and Folklore Archives. Each tale is assigned an IFA number and is kept in the archives.
