"The purpose of this book is to elevate stories and storytelling in people's esteem, so they will understand their holiness and appreciate them at their full worth. There are those who enjoy stories and storytelling but in the back of their minds think, 'After all, they're only stories.' But in the same way that the Western Wall of the Temple is not just a wall, a mere pile of stones, neither are the stories of the Torah or of the tzaddikim 'just stories.' Holy stories are the light of the world. When we understand that, when both tellers and listeners know they are engaged in sacred activity, we will hold stories and storytelling more dear. The teller will tell with the tongue of faith, the listeners will hear with ears of faith, and the circle of holiness will be closed." -from the Introduction

Story Tour: The Journey Begins is a book filled with short stories of faith from the Story Tour. Stories have touched the hearts, minds and souls of people since the beginning of time. A holy man once said, ”I came to teach you Scriptures but you understood it not, therefore I will tell you stories.” Spiritual storytelling always has an underlying purpose, which is to inspire people with faith and communicate wisdom and values. Storytelling is an ancient art. The storyteller's stories passed down lessons of faith, history and language from one generation to another. The mystery, magic and excitement of spiritual stories stimulate the listener and encourage critical thinking skills. Spiritual stories better explain holidays, ethics, history and the lifecycle while creating an atmosphere to strengthen spiritual identity. Spiritual Stories and storytelling play an important role in most if not all spiritual traditions, religions and cultures. The spiritual wisdom of our ancestors was shared by the storyteller from generation to generation.

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.

This second edition nearly doubles the number of stories and expands the guide's global reach, with new pieces from Turkey, Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, and Chile. Subject cross-references and a glossary complete the volume, a living tool for understanding the ever-evolving world of Jewish folklore.
