An orphan begs for a sign from Hashem and finds it on a classroom blackboard: An unexpected ending that’s One for the Books.

The policeman said no to Torah. The elderly grandmother said yes – and then slapped him on the face: A shocking encounter that was One for the Books.

From Morocco to the European ghettoes, from campgrounds to hospital rooms, from Brooklyn to Meah Shearim to Djerba, here are stories that take us around the Jewish world – and into the Jewish People’s hearts.

Some of the stories are poignant, others are inspirational and still others are full of surprises. And all of them are stories that inspire, engage, and teach us. And yes, each and every masterfully written story is One for the Books.
