Ma'Aseh Book / The MA'ASEH BOOK is a vast anonymous collection of stories, folktales, legends, and oral traditions recorded in Yiddish and compiled in the latter part of the 16th century. The main section is devoted to stories from the Talmud and Midrash. The second section contains a cycle of legends centered around Rabbi Samuel and his son Rabbi Judah he-Hasid, the great mystics of medieval Germany. The third part consists of a variety of narratives about Rashi, Maimonides, and the story of the Jewish pope. Permeated with a spirit of piety to strengthen the reader's faith, the MA'ASEH BOOK has nourished the Jewish imagination for centuries. This paperback includes two volumes in one.
