Jewish Fairy Tales

There are more than 60 Jewish Fairy Tales in the app.

The application allows you to mark the tales you have read. That way, if children are reading tales alone, you can follow them. But we recommend that you tell the stories to your children. This helps you communicate with your child. It also helps you explain her/his mistakes in a more accurate language. All you have to do is choose a right tales and talk to your child about it.


Jewish fairy tales, just like the fairy tales of other peoples, speak mostly of striving to reach a goal and overcoming many obstacles during that journey. Usually they have a happy ending, which cannot be said about other categories of Jewish tales. For instance in the tale "King – beggar" king Solomon, forced to travel on a gifted bread only, overcomes successive obstacles on the way to reclaiming his throne. In a Jewish fairy tale from India "A Golden Tree" a king goes on a search for a tree of his dreams.


In Jewish fairy tales there often is a distinctive mesh of magical and spiritual elements. King Solomon – the protagonist of a great many tales – owns a ring with an engraved unpronounceable Name of God (Tetragrammaton). By using the ring Solomon defeats the lord of demons, Asmodeus, performing many miracles on his way there. Therefore the power of king Solomon is limited to being able to speak the Name of God, while the miracles in fact are performed by God.
