Now, for the first time, you can read 70 of these fascinating tales in a single volume, collected and retold by master storyteller, Yonassan Gershom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author begins with an over-view of basic themes about the afterlife, such as the judgement of souls before the Heavenly Court, the mystical significance of the Covenant at Sinai, the process of \u003ci\u003etikkun olam\u003c\/i\u003e (repairing the universe), and some reasons why human beings return to earth in new bodies. He then takes you on an exciting journey through many centuries of Jewish tales, where you will meet dozens of saints and sinners, animals and humans, angels and mortals-all attempting to work out their past-life karma through applying the teachings of the Torah in earthly life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn order to make the classical stories understandable to the modern reader, each tale has been ex-panded to include clear explanations of cultural and religious details.
