The Way Meat Loves Salt
Many years ago in Poland, there lived a rabbi who had a wife and three daughters. One day, the rabbi asks his children a powerful question: "How much do you love me?" His older daughters profess their love in gold and diamonds, but his youngest daughter, Mireleh, declares she loves her father the way meat loves salt. For this remark, she is banished from her father's home. In this flavorful Jewish Cinderella tale, Mireleh's courageous journey is peppered with a perfect blend of magic and romance, leading to a reconciliation with her beloved father. Lavishly illustrated in Louise August's bold linocuts, The Way Meat Loves Salt will make a wonderful gift for the Jewish holidays.

Believe It Or Not
In 1963, a woman accepting a paid position-even a teaching position in a university engineering department-is thought to bring shame on her family. An upper middle-class wife was supposed to be supported, if not by her husband, then by her family.. But Claude Gruen, husband of author Nina Jaffe Gruen, sees her as a partner professional.. Facing 160 disrespectful male students in a department with no full-time female faculty members is just the beginning of Nina's foray into an exclusively male professional world-and she learned a lot about how to be taken seriously. With great humor and wit, Nina shares her experiences as a fearless pioneer, determined to fulfill her intellectual potential as a real estate and marketing consultant. Whether she's hiding in the ladies' room because it's official policy to not hire women professionals, or taken aback when told, "That was an intelligent comment...for a woman," Nina's tales from the battlefield serve as a vivid reminder of how much has changed since the "good old days" of the 1960s and '70s.

This comprehensive bibliography identifies 668 Jewish folktales by title and subject, summarizing plot lines for easy access to the right story for any occasion. Some centuries old and others freshly imagined, the tales include animal fables, supernatural yarns, and anecdotes for festivals and holidays. Themes include justice, community, cause and effect, and mitzvahs, or good deeds.

Subject cross-references and a glossary complete the volume, a living tool for understanding the ever-evolving world of Jewish folklore.
