Hi keziah! Your answer about Jewish folklore inspired me to ask, do you have any book and author recommendations for Jewish folklore collections? And also I'd asked before but I think it's been buried in your inbox lol, but do you have any recs for Jewish children's books for my nephews (they also love supernatural and fantasy themes)? Thank you! -🍒
Oops! I'm sorry I didn't get to your original ask. Things do get buried in there lol.
Howard Schwartz has several award-winning collections of Jewish folklore, which are a joy to read, including 'Leaves from the Garden of Eden;' 'Elijah's Violin;' 'Lilith's Cave: Jewish Tales of the Supernatural;' 'Tree of Souls: the Mythology of Judaism;' and so many more. I definitely recommend any of those works.
