The Ma’aseh Book, a collection of stories and legends, is
here, in this edition, divided into three parts. The first is devoted to popular stories told
in the midrash and Talmud. They ring odd
to the modern ear; a very helpful companion to this book is Ruth Calderon’s “A Bride for One Night” were she tackles these strange and disturbing
tales. She contextualizes many of these
stores with an even hand
The tales in this
book are worth reading. We just need a
teacher.
