The book in front of you is light and, moreover, unique. It contains legends about the Jewish people and covers a large period of time - from the creation of the world to the events that occurred in the 20th century AD. It contains legends unknown to a wide audience, because known ones can be read in other sources, of which there are a huge number today. You will learn about why the Jews have their own calendar, about Kings David and Solomon, about the famous sages of the Holy Land and much more. The book also contains charming fairy tales that can be safely read by the little ones and which even very mature and experienced people can easily think about. Such different stories, such different parts of the world and times, such fantastic events! And they are united by one thing: the light of faith, the light of knowledge and wisdom. Jews call themselves "the people of the Book." And the wisdom of the Book - the Torah - becomes a guiding star that helps us survive and withstand difficult times. Therefore, each chapter of this collection of legends is called a “star”. Choose any one - you won’t go wrong.
