Folk tales from the Jewish community of Britain


In this book of folk tales, Liz Berg shares Jewish memories: tales, songs and jokes of Jews told by Jews in Britain and Ireland. Some stories moved from place to place, changing and adapting to new landscapes and taking on different texture, but the essence of the tales stay the same, preserved through oral storytelling, captured and recorded on these pages.

Here are tales from the time of Diocletian’s Jewish slaves working in the tin mines of Cornwall, through to the modern tales being told in communities today, all incorporating the wit and magic of a rich and varied culture successfully integrated into Britain and Ireland.
