Professor Wisse has been teaching the classics of Jewish literature for decades, and in this new podcast, “The Stories Jews Tell,” she brings a lifetime of learning to illuminate the greatest Jewish tales of the modern era. We’ll read Hasidic masters and poets, satirists and surrealists, Zionists and heretics. In this podcast, you will receive a master class on the very best works of Jewish fiction and come to see what we still have to learn from the stories Jews tell.
Every episode will summarize each story and will be accessible no matter your prior knowledge of the text.
Of course, we hope this podcast will inspire you to read these stories on your own! And we will provide copies of the stories in our weekly emails and the show notes whenever possible.
Season 1 of The Stories Jews Tell is generously sponsored by Robert L. Friedman.
