Ethical Tales from the Kabbalah: Stories from the Kabbalistic Ethical Writings

Selected and translated from the Hebrew by Aryeh Wineman

Originally published under the title "Beyond Appearances," these 54 tales recapture a rich yet virtually forgotten chapter in the history of Jewish narrative, forming the important transitional link between the esoteric mystical teachings of the sixteenth-century Kabbalists and the popular tales of the eighteenth-century Eastern European Hasidim.
