I am Jewish, but not very religious, although I minored in World Religions at college. That means I read the holy books of all the great religions. What I loved most were the stories, many of which I have retold over the years. In my long career as a writer (I have over 400 books published. My first two came out when I was 24 years old, and I am now 83. This book is number 415. But who's counting?), I have written around 30 books that have strong Jewish content. But good stories are fun to read, whatever culture they spring from.
