Celia Gurevitch Jewish Community Library

The library had a paperback copy of Martin Buber‘s excellent collection of The Legend of the Baal-Shem. Recently an anonymous donor dropped of an audio version of the book at the library as a donation. The two audio tapes altogether are about three hours long. The stories are read by Theodore Bikel. When you are listening to books on tape it is important that you would like the voice of the reader. In order to help you to decide whether you like Mr. Bikel’s voice (I did) listen to the first three minutes of this tape by clicking the play button (arrow) below. The catch: you will get the beginning of the story, but in order to know what happens you will need to borrow the tape.
