The Day the Rabbi Disappeared: Jewish Holiday Tales of Magic

The magic in these tales - of dreams, heavenly journeys, and secret names - is used to protect and save the Jewish people. Several of the stories feature learned women and all twelve of them are associated with the major festivals, Rosh Hodesh, and Shabbat.

I thought this book that told some mythology of Jewish origin that embraced magic use, rather then eschewing it like is normally done with Judaism, refreshing. they are very interesting stories and different than the mythology we would be useful.
