Jewish Wisdom. Eight Guiding Stars: Traditions, Legends, Myths, Tales

The book contains legends about the Jewish people and covers a vast time span — from the creation of the world to the events of the 20th century of our era. You will learn why Jews have their own calendar, about kings David and Solomon, about the famous sages of the Holy Land, and much more. Different narratives, different parts of the world and times, fantastic events! They are united by one thing: the light of faith, the light of knowledge and wisdom. Jews call themselves the "People of the Book." And the wisdom of the Book — the Torah — becomes a guiding star, helping to survive and stand firm in difficult times. Each chapter of this collection of legends is called a "star." Choose any — you will not be mistaken.
