Book One of Tales of Erets (The Crusade of Stone and Stars). The Queen of the kingdom of Arx is having an affair with her oldest childhood friend, right under the King's nose. The King of Arx, however, is not only fine with that, but, in fact, is encouraging it, as the King is a lover of men. Arx needs an heir to the throne, and the King plans to claim whatever child his Queen and her bodyguard conceive is his own, but in Arxian politics secrets have a price, and affairs can tear a kingdom apart. Arx teeters on the brink of chaos, and all while the nearby kingdom of Nihilus threatens Arx with holy war.

Tales of Erets is a story about the change of a person’s soul that comes from a difficult journey. When a person goes through adversity, that same person will grow and learn so that they will handle the next adversity better than before. This story of a man named Emuoy is one such story. Emuoy is a hard working dirt farmer who has always had problems in his life. He is both cynical and pessimistic. In this story, Emuoy takes a journey to learn that life is not so bad. In fact, he finds out that life is actually pretty good. He has a friend Tafnam who is always happy and tries to let Emuoy know the joy of life. Emuoy isn’t interested in anything that Tafnam has to say on the subject, at least not until the end, after Emuoy’s journey. The story starts where Emuoy is about as far down as he can get, or so he thinks. He is about to lose everything. Through strange magic Emuoy gets sucked into a different world where he finds that he can have more troubles than he ever thought possible. First he finds dangerous plants in this new world which cause much pain. Next he encounters a people who have very treacherous and deceiving ways. He also learns not to do things that he knows are wrong because the consequences that result are far worse than the consequences of just simply doing the right thing. Emuoy gets into fights and almost gets killed several times in this new land. There is a magical beanbag that keeps Emuoy safe from all the new dangers of his journey. In places where you would think Emuoy would die, somehow he scrapes through. Emuoy meets all kinds of wild and fascinating characters on his journey. One is a crazy man that lives in the desert and eats bugs. Another is a brilliant teacher that teaches Emuoy things just when he needs to learn them. Then there are all the crooks and murderers that proliferate the magical land. The magic and the wonder of this story seem to scream out to be told. People that read this will be left with a sense of awe about their own existence. In the end, readers may be asking themselves some of the same questions that Emuoy was forced to ask himself. The story is about all of our journeys in life, as well as about all the struggles we all face. It is a story not about magic, but rather about the secret on finding the joy within all of our lives. In the end, Emuoy learns that you can go through life with joy instead of pain.

The conflict between the people of Arx and the people of Nihilus continues. The Arxians, having conquered Nihilus, have appointed the iron-fisted Duke Jachai to rule over the land of their enemies. His ruthlessness has only fueled the flames of rebellion in Nihilus, and tensions are rising. Ardal, a former professor of Nihilite magic, has discovered that he has a terminal illness that may require him to seek help from his worst enemies in order to cure.

The kingdoms of Arx and Nihilus have been joined as one, and finally there is peace between their peoples. We now turn our gaze to the West, where a justicar named Dario is hunting the criminal mastermind behind the slave trade; The Vice Queen. During his investigations, he meets a strange young sorcerer who defies all gods and faiths, declaring himself his own god, his own master. All the while, Dario is plagued by terrible nightmares of a monstrous threat building strength underneath his feet. Meanwhile, a slave known as "The Dream Merchant" receives a visit from Sandalphon, the Archangel who led the now-fallen Inquisition. He tells her that it is her destiny to rebuild the Inquisition from the ashes, and become its new Grand Inquisitor. It's another tale of mystery, intrigue, seduction, and bloodshed in the history of Erets.

Sacred Places Tell Tales is the previously untold history of Egyptian Jewry and the ways in which Cairo’s synagogues historically functioned as active institutions in the social lives of these Jews. Historian Yoram Meital interprets Cairo’s synagogues as exquisite storytellers. The synagogues still stand in Cairo, and they shed new light on the social, cultural, and political processes that Egyptian society and the Jews underwent from 1875 to the present. Studying old and new synagogues in the Egyptian capital, their locations, the items they stored, and the range of religious and nonreligious activities they hosted reveals the social heterogeneity and the diverse ways in which modern Jewish sociocultural identity was constructed within Cairo’s Sephardi, Ashkenazi, and Karaite communities. Meital contends that studying the congregations and the social services provided in synagogues reveals the local Jewish community’s customs, cultural preferences, socioeconomic gaps, and class divisions. Sacred Places Tell Tales narrates not only the past but also the unprecedented transformations that have occurred in recent years in Egypt. While only a handful of Jews live in Egypt, the preservation of Jewish heritage, first and foremost synagogues and cemeteries, enjoy a growing interest in public discourse and popular culture. This new desire to preserve Jewish heritage is inseparable from the ongoing public debate about Egyptian society, its characteristics, and its identity, past and present. By contextualizing Jewish heritage preservation in a longer Egyptian and Jewish history, Meital opens a window into one of the most significant political discussions dividing Egyptian society today.

Thanks to these generous donors for making the publication of the books in this series possible: Lloyd E. Cotsen; The Maurice Amado Foundation; National Endowment for the Humanities; and the National Foundation for Jewish Culture Tales from Arab Lands presents tales from North Africa, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq in the latest volume of the most important collection of Jewish folktales ever published. This is the third book in the multi-volume series in the tradition of Louis Ginzberg?s timeless classic, Legends of the Jews. The 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 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 series is a monument to a rich but vanishing oral tradition. This series is a monument to a rich but vanishing oral tradition.

Written in pieces over the last fifteen years of his life and published posthumously, S. Y. Agnon's A City in Its Fullness is an ambitious, historically rich sequence of stories memorializing Buczacz, the city of his birth. This town in present-day Ukraine was once home to a vibrant Jewish population that was destroyed twice over—in the First World War and again in the Holocaust. Agnon's epic story cycle, however, focuses not on the particulars of destruction, but instead reimagines the daily lives of Buczacz's Jewish citizens, vividly preserving the vanished world of early modern Jewry. Ancestral Tales shows how this collection marks a critical juncture within the Agnon canon. Through close readings of the stories against a shifting historical backdrop, Alan Mintz presents a multilayered history of the town, along with insight into Agnon's fictional transformations. Mintz relates these narrative strategies to catastrophe literature from earlier periods of Jewish history, showing how Agnon's Buczacz is a literary achievement at once innovative in its form of remembrance and deeply rooted in Jewish tradition.
