"The Shoemaker's Tale" "seamlessly blends Jewish folktales and mysticism with the universal quest for life's meaning" (New York Times). According to the Jerusalem Post, "The shoemaker's adventures are portrayed with an artist's sensitivity and we get an exquisite and humorous portrait of life in 18th century Poland … rich with the ironic wisdom of the great Yiddish folklorists" (Miami Herald).
