Download or read book JEWISH FAIRY TALES and LEGENDS written by Various and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2009 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewish folklore overflows with vivid stories that both entertain and teach. In 1919, "Aunt Naomi" (Gertrude Landa) wrote Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends, a book of 27 fairy tales based on stories of the Jewish interpretations of the Bible. While some of the themes are familiar from contemporary fairy tales and folklore, other stories in this collection are infused with the inimitably Jewish struggle for survival and dignity; all are flavoured with a large helping of gentle humour. Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends tells of the boyish exploits of Abraham, Moses, and David, but also includes stories of higgledy-piggledy palaces, beggar kings, quarreling cats and dogs, waterbabes, bogey-men, magic red slippers, a talmudic Sinbad, Alexander the Great, and even the story of a star child. Aunt Naomi strove to create a collection of Jewish delights that boys and girls could add to their treasuries of general fairy-lore and childish romance. In this she succeeded-Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends not only preserves a cultural history, but also is richly entertaining. We invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of Jewish folklore not seen in print for over ninety years; immerse yourself in the tales and fables of yesteryear. A percentage of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated towards education scholarships for underprivileged Jewish youth.

Download or read book Not So Grimm written by Gila Weinberg and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-16 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairy tales fascinate with their magic, romance, adventure and passion. At the same time, the messages they impart can be disturbing, implying that only the beautiful, powerful or cunning live happily ever after; and that the goal of a happy ending overshadows every other value. The Jewish stories collected in Not So Grimm bear striking similarities to such fairy tale classics as Sleeping Beauty and The Frog Prince. Their drama and romance capture the imagination, while celebrating different values, such as moral integrity, humility and compassion. Each tale is followed by a brief comparison to its fairy tale counterpart, demonstrating the significant twists of plot that alter the meaning of the story and bring a new message to the listener - one that is rooted in Jewish values, thought, and practice. The enthralling power of these stories vies with the most potent and poignant of classic fairy tales. The stories have been written for adults to enjoy and share with the children in their lives. They will enrich both the readers' and the listeners' Jewish experience, and people their imaginations with a colorful and inspiring cast of characters.

Download or read book Jewish Fairy Tales and Fables written by Gertrude Landa and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very cordial welcome given to my earlier volume of “Jewish Fairy Tales and Fables” has prompted me to draw further upon Rabbinic lore in the interest, chiefly, of the children. How the wise Rabbis of old considered the necessities of the little ones, whose minds they understood so perfectly, is obvious from such legends as those dealing with boyish exploits of the great Biblical characters, Abraham, Moses, and David. These I have rewritten from the stories in the Talmud and Midrash in a manner suitable for the children of to-day. I have ventured also beyond the confines of these two wonderful compilations. There is a wealth of delightful imagination in the legends and folk-lore of the Jews of a later period which is almost entirely unknown to children. I have drawn also on these sources for some of the stories here presented. My desire is to give boys and girls something Jewish which they may be able to regard as companion delights to the treasury of general fairy-lore and childish romance.

Download or read book Elijah's Violin and Other Jewish Fairy Tales written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1994-10-20 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of magic and wonder can be found in every phase of Jewish literature, from the sacred to the secular. The fairy tale in particular--set in enchanted lands and populated with a variety of human and supernatural beings, both good and evil--holds a very special place in the Jewish tradition. For in the fairy tale, where good and evil engage in a timeless struggle, we have a clear reflection of the Jewish world view, where faith in God can defeat the evil impulse. In Elijah's Violin, Howard Schwartz offers a sumptuous collection of thirty-six Jewish fairy tales from virtually every corner of the world. At once otherworldy and earthy, pious and playful, these celebrated tales from Morocco and India, Spain and Eastern Europe, Babylon and Egypt, illustrate not only their Jewish character but also their universality of themes. Invoking the biblical tale of David and Goliath, we read as King David defeats the giant by hovering above its spear in King David and the Giant. In the romantic tale of The Princess in the Tower, a variant of Rapunzel, we watch as the cautious King Solomon recognizes the vanity in trying to prevent Providence from taking place. And we see the religious nature of the quest for Elijah's violin in the title story. The successful completion of the king's quest enables the violin's imprisoned melodies, emblematic of the Jewish spirit, to be set free. Throughout this richly illustrated collection, one can find the quests and riddles of the traditional fairy tale along with the divine intervention that characterizes the Jewish fairy tale. Skillfully translated, these stories will captivate children and adults alike in which romance and magic become enchantingly entwined with faith, duty, and wisdom.
