The tradition of storytelling dates back centuries for the Jewish people. From the tales in the Bible to our contemporary authors of fiction, history, and everything in between, stories are an important part of Jewish culture. Storytelling has held us together for thousands of years and continues to do so to this day. Although these collections don't encapsulate everything about Jewish culture and experiences, I think there’s something here for everyone from all walks of life. —Aaron Schwartz, Audible Editor
