Thanks to these generous donors for making the publication of the books in this series possible: Lloyd E. Cotsen; The Maurice Amado Foundation; the National Endowment for the Humanities; and the National Foundation for Jewish Culture.

Tales from the Sephardic Dispersion begins the most important collection of Jewish folktales ever published. It is the first volume in Folktales of the Jews, the five-volume series to be released over the next several years, in the tradition of Louis Ginzberg's classic, Legends of the Jews.

The 71 tales here and the others in this series have been selected from the Israel Folktale Archives (IFA), named in Honor of Dov Noy, at The University of Haifa, a treasure house of Jewish lore that has remained largely unavailable to the entire world until now. Since the creation of the State of Israel, the IFA has collected more than 20,000 tales from newly arrived immigrants, long-lost stories shared by their families from around the world. The tales come from the major ethno-linguistic communities of the Jewish world and are representative of a wide variety of subjects and motifs, especially rich in Jewish content and context. Each of the tales is accompanied by in-depth commentary that explains the tale's cultural, historical, and literary background and its similarity to other tales in the IFA collection, and extensive scholarly notes. There is also an introduction that describes the Sephardic culture and its folk narrative tradition, a world map of the areas covered, illustrations, biographies of the collectors and narrators, tale type and motif indexes, a subject index, and a comprehensive bibliography. Until the establishment of the IFA, we had had only limited access to the wide range of Jewish folk narratives. Even in Israel, the gathering place of the most wide-ranging cross-section of world Jewry, these folktales have remained largely unknown. Many of the communities no longer exist as cohesive societies in their representative lands; the Holocaust, migration, and changes in living styles have made the continuation of these tales impossible. This volume and the others to come will be monuments to a rich but vanishing oral tradition.

Best lotion I can find
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
Lubriderm discontinued the perfect men’s 3-in-1 lotion and it’s no longer available. After trying multiple substitutions, I found this. Mind you, I have scent and skin issues and NORMALLY buy unscented. I was concerned that this would cause issues and quite the opposite happened. I’ve discovered it works BETTER than the previously mention “perfect product” and though it is scented, the scent is pleasurable and super quick to fade, not at all overpowering and truly quite enjoyable. A fresh boost without causing me ANY problems. I am so pleased with this Vaseline product that I’m actually better now about keeping my skin hydrated, and, find myself humming while dressing post shower and application (I apply at the conclusion of my shower while still in the shower. That’s new - I hadn’t noticed or thought about it until my spouse asked me “why the good mood in the mornings lately.” Subconscious I guess but it’s a great way to start long days feeling clean and confident, rather than just washed, rinsed and repeat.

Dermatologist recommended it!
Size: 1.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is my 11th order of this product. I originally started using it a few years ago when my dermatologist recommended it during a period of hormonal acne. I’ve been using it ever since. I have very sensitive skin that usually reacts to almost everything, either with redness or breakouts, but I can use this cream comfortably without any issues. It is very gentle, deeply hydrating, and has become a permanent part of my skincare routine. It is definitely worth the price. Even a small amount provides excellent hydration and it lasts a long time. I also love that it has a natural ingredients and is fragrance-free.
