The Time of the Ghosts
Gillian Polack
The tradition of storytelling dates back millennia 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. —Aaron Schwartz, Audible Editor
