Rabbi Nachman's The Merchant of Breslov

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810) the great Chassidic master, was truly one of the most masterful storytellers of all time. "Others tell stories to put people to sleep," he said, "but I tell stories to wake people up!" Spellbinding, educational and inspirational, Rabbi Nachman's tales stretch the boundaries of the imagination of the young and old alike, and teach us about the value of living right. This ongoing project takes Rabbi Nachman's memorable stories and retells them for children, captivating both the young and the young at heart. To further the educational aim of these stories an epilogue and "Things to Think About" was added at the end. A helpful guide for exploring with your children the educationally valuable concepts highlighted by the story. (with lively colorful illustrations)
