Parables can be created on a variety of topics, but two principles remain unchanged in them - brevity and wisdom. Created in a simple and accessible form, the parable will teach you to think, help you find solutions to problems, develop imagination and intuition, make you think about your behavior and even help you laugh at your mistakes. This is an amazingly effective means of education and training. Jewish parables give an idea of the way of life and national customs, moral standards and religious foundations of Judaism, established over the long history of the existence of the Jewish people. The unusual ease of storytelling, behind which folk wisdom is hidden, allows you to think about the true goals and meaning of life. Maybe that’s why the parable is part of human culture, collected over many generations. The collection of Jewish parables also includes Hasidic parables.
