Description
Joel’s first recording, now twenty-five years old, has been designated a Parents’ Choice Classic. His stories of wisdom and foolishness will take you on a journey from the marketplace in the old city of Jerusalem to the subways of Tokyo, with side trips to a village in China for the story of a lost horse and a bath house in Turkey where we meet the great Sufi trickster, Mullah Nasrudin. Listeners will especially enjoy the trip to Chelm, the mythical Jewish town of fools.
A klezmer clarinet provides the music that weaves the stories together, in this recording you and your family will listen to again and again.
