Encyclopedia of Jewish Folklore and Traditions cover

This multicultural reference work on Jewish folklore, legends, customs, and other elements of folklife is the first of its kind.

"Indeed, one can imagine that students looking for specific knowledge may first read it online. Yet an encyclopedia is always larger than the sum of its parts. This is particularly so in the present case. Knowledge may change and be updated, but the encyclopedia will remain a benchmark in the history of Jewish folklore research, celebrating the achievements of this field in the last 150 years. In that, the encyclopedia provides the most comprehensive answer to what Jewish folklore is."
