Description
Tales of laughter and tears stretching around the world and back again.
The title story is a classic, telling of Yaakov ben Yekel, a poor tailor in Crakow, who dreams of a far away treasure and sets off on a journey. You’ll be going on a journey of your own, as Joel weaves together traditional folktales with stories from his own life. You’ll hear about Herschel of Ostropol, the great Jewish jester, and Joel’s own father.
The stories Joel tells and music accompanying them on Buried Treasures will take you to Spain, Haiti and back to Joel’s family home in the suburbs of Los Angeles in this collection of tales about love, loss, learning and laughter.
