Storytelling was used by the ancient Talmudic sages to teach us about ethics and morality. These stories involve God, Elijah the Prophet, Biblical figures such as Abraham and Moses, Satan, animals, nature and - even - each other. This book includes numerous Talmudic stories including the Oven of Akhnai, Choni the Circle-maker, Rabbi Shimon b. Yochai and the cave, Joseph-who-honors-the-Sabbath, and Kamtza and Bar Kamtza in order to see what lessons can be learned from them. What is clear from examining these stories is that they are as relevant today as they were almost 2,000 years ago.
