The first volume in a new literary landmark, "Tales from the Sephardic Dispersion" begins the most important collection of Jewish folktales ever published. It is the first volume in "Folktales of the Jews", the five-volume series to be released over the next several years, in the tradition of Louis Ginzberg's classic, "Legends of the Jews". The 71 tales here and the others in this series have been selected from the Israel Folktale Archives (IFA), a treasure house of Jewish lore that has remained largely unavailable to the entire world until now. Since the creation of the State of Israel, the IFA has collected more than 20,000 tales from newly arrived immigrants, long-lost stories shared by their families from around the world. The tales come from the major ethno-linguistic communities of the Jewish world and are representative of a wide variety of subjects and motifs, especially rich in Jewish content and context. Each of the tales is accompanied by in-depth commentary that explains the tale's cultural, historical, and literary background and its similarity to other tales in the IFA collection, and extensive scholarly notes
