Summary: read this book
Review: Gimpel the Fool is a really well written book that is fun to read. It is an important source of information about Jewish history. But don't get me wrong, it's funny and easy to understand. The book focuses on the lives of simple Jews and their struggles and joys. My two favotite stories are "Gimpel the Fool" and "Fire."
