Souls Are Flying!: A Celebration of Jewish Stories

SOULS ARE FLYNG! A Celebration of Jewish Stories is a collection of ten short stories based on the writings of beloved Jewish authors Sholem Aleichem, I.L. Peretz, and Jacob Dinezon. Collected and retold by storyteller and playwright, Scott Hilton Davis, these new adaptations celebrate Jewish heritage, culture, and values. Stories include "If Not Still Higher" and "Bontshe Shvayg" by I.L. Peretz, "If I Were Rothschild" and "Elijah the Prophet" by Sholem Aleichem, and, for the first time in English translation, "Motl Farber, Purimshpieler" and "Borekh the Orphan" by Jacob Dinezon. Written to be read aloud, these Jewish stories from the late 19th century will make you laugh, maybe bring a tear to your eye, and fill your heart with the joy of Yiddishkayt and Jewish culture. A great gift for bar or bat mitzvah, confirmation, or Chanukah!
