a metaphor for powerful social change; and "Candle, Feather, Wooden Spoon,"

-Rabbi Naomi Levy, author of Einstein and the Rabbi and To Begin Again
Rarely are we gifted with a glimpse of such expansive imagination that our world opens up and everything suddenly seems possible. These stories are exhilarating and magical, playful and profound, moving and visionary. They are portals into worlds-both breathtakingly new and resonantly familiar-for us, the Jewish people, to inhabit. I will be teaching these stories, reading them to my congregation, and including them in my sermons. And so will every rabbi you know. Mark my words: they're going to change our world.
-Rabbi Rachel Timoner, author of Breath of Life: God as Spirit in Judaism
"Magical" is the only word for Rabbi Zoe Klein's gathering of wise, deep, whimsical stories. In the tradition of the greatest of our rabbinical teachers-who used imagination to engage the mind, heart, and spirit of our people-Rabbi Klein's stories open our eyes, touch our souls, and invite us into a world of enchantment and wonder. This is a book to be cherished for the generations.
-Rabbi Edward Feinstein, author of The Chutzpah Imperative and Tough Questions Jews Ask
