About this book

A collection of funny, engaging micro-tales for each of the portions of the Torah and one for each of the Jewish festivals as well.

These tales are told from the perspective of young people who feature in the Biblical narrative, young people who feature in classic Rabbinic commentary on our Biblical narratives and young people just made up for this book.

This is a delightful, accessible, engaging introduction to midrash for kids. I know it’ll be in heavy rotation in my home; I imagine yours, too.
Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, author of On Repentance and Repair: Repair and Amends in an Unapologetic World and Nurture the Wow: Finding Spirituality in the Frustration, Boredom, Tears, Poop, Desperation, Wonder, and Radical Amazement of Parenting
