New Book Review: Jewish Stories From Heaven and Earth

Jewish Stories from Heaven and Earth by Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins, ed.

Jews love telling stories, and Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins, co-editor of Chicken Soup for the Jewish Soul, has compiled an amazing collection of stories from all walks of Jewish life that are truly inspirational. Authors range from famous—Hanoch Teller, Elie Weisel, and Yitzchak Rabin to name a few—to your ordinary Jew wanting to share their out-of-the-ordinary tales of passion, devotion, faith, courage and achievement that eloquently personify Judaism’s core values, yet are universal enough that they can be enjoyed by anyone. Sections are included on the Holocaust and the state of Israel. A read that is impossible to put down and highly recommended for all types of libraries.
