I love sharing Jewish short stories with children! In addition to numerous
picture books, there are some wonderful story collections. Here are some to get
started with; not all of them will work well for the younger kids, but
hopefully the teacher and kids will enjoy some of them!
Chelm Stories, including but not limited to the following:
- Right Side Up: Adventures in Chelm by Eric A. Kimmel
- The Jar of Fools: Eight Hanukkah Stories from Chelm by Eric A. Kimmel
- The Silly World of Chelm: A Treasury of Jewish Wit and Whimsy by Zalman
Goldstein
- Chelm for the Holidays by Valerie Estelle Frankel
Other Story Collections:
- The Adventures of Hershel of Ostropol by Eric A. Kimmel
- Brainteasers from Jewish Folklore by Rosalind Charney Kaye
- Rachel the Clever and Other Jewish Folktales by Joseph Sherman
- The Diamond Tree: Jewish Tales from Around the World by Howard Schwartz et
al
- While Standing on One Foot: Puzzle Stories and Wisdom Tales from the
Jewish Tradition by Nina Jaffe
- The Uninvited Guest and Other Jewish Holiday Tales by Nina Jaffe
- My Grandmother's Stories by Adele Geras

I am looking for Jewish Short Stories for grades 1 - 3. My Director of
Education at my Reform Religious School in Southern California hired a new
teacher. She wants to read short stories to her students at the beginning and
end of her classes. I have about 800 Jewish Children's books in my 2,600
volume collection but no idea what books contain short stories. Does anyone
have a bibliography of short stories?
