Everyone loves an anecdote, a witty comment, a humorous jibe, a short
remark that is deceptively simple but that shines a bright ray of truth
on an obscure aspect of life. This book is packed cover to cover with
such gems.

How did wise Jews speak about faith – and how did they
respond to the barbs and the taunts of the unfaithful? How did they
give the benefit of the doubt while maintaining the principles of truth
and justice? In this fascinating book, over forty topics are illuminated
with many hundreds of wise and witty comments.

The book is an
education, but it is also fabulously entertaining reading. Pick it up
and flip the pages. Wherever you stop to read, you will be amply
rewarded. Peruse it for five minutes or five hours – you will be equally
rewarded. This book is the third in the series by Shmuel Himelstein, and the master anthologizer has not lost his touch. Rarely is a book so simultaneously entertaining and enlightening.
