5.0 out of 5 starsRabbi's Favorite Folktales
By Romance Reader on October 27, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Some one screwed up here and got too cutesy - It's never a good idea to use an obscure title -- (Chai is the number 18 in Hebrew so 'Three Times Chai' means 54 - the number of stories in the book) -- and that's too bad, because a lot of people who would really love this book are going to pass right over the title without ever knowing about the gems, humor and joy inside.
What we have here are 54 Rabbi's favorite folk tales, parables and stories; collected and retold as short stories (most only one or two pages) with a quick paragraph at the end of why it's the Rabbi's favorite.
It's hard to say who this is aimed at though. Folktale lovers? A solid hit. Bubbe reading to a six year old? Not so much... a little too heavy on the morality and too light on the humor for the littlest kids. Should every Hebrew School Library have it -- of course! Will a lot of kids take it out? Not sure. Do tweens read folktale morality stories?
I loved this book. I guess you'll just have to try it out yourself.

5.0 out of 5 starsThree Times Chai: 54 Rabbis Tell THeir Favorite Stories
By Jewish Book World Magazine on March 20, 2008
Format: Hardcover
Reading this book is like attending a storytelling festival in print! Laney Katz Becker has invited fifty-four rabbis, from all branches of Judaism, to contribute their favorite stories. A great variety of genres are included: classic Bible stories, midrashim, folktales, extended jokes, and legends. The stories come from many different places, time periods, and cultures. Each brief story, most as short as a page or two, reflects a Jewish value and is written in an oral style. At the end of each story there is an instructive note from the contributor explaining the story's lesson and why it is the rabbi's favorite or how the rabbi applies the story's lesson. The book is divided into four sections: 1)Community -- stories about relationships, tzedakah, and tikun olam, our responsibility to heal the world; 2)Religion -- stories about Jewish identity, practices, and spirituality; 3) God's World --stories about the ways in which we relate to God and live according to God's plan; and 4)Outlook -- stories about our attitudes, choices, and quests for truth, honesty, wisdom, and courage. As wonderful as this book is, it would have become an even greater resource if sources for the stories were also included. Some of the rabbis do indicate in their personal notes where or when or from whom they first heard the story but about half of the stories have no sources given. Nevertheless, more source information, supplied by the rabbi or else by Laney Katz Becker who collected and edited the stories, would have added a valuable dimension to such a collection.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful Book...
By Jamie on July 18, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book was given to me as a gift my by Rabbi. I loved it so much that I bought a copy for my Mom and a good friend. It's like a box of good chocolates - you are tempted to devour the whole book in one sitting, but it's better if you pace yourself and savor the message of each story.

5.0 out of 5 starsThree Times Chai is a resource sure to please.
By Midwest Book Review on January 9, 2008
Format: Hardcover
Three Times Chai: 54 Rabbis Tell Their Favorite Stories offers fifty-four stories in the Jewish storytelling tradition, each narrated by a different rabbi. A sidebar explains why the rabbi who presents the tale is so fond of it. Ideal for inspiring congregations, reading aloud to class, sharing with one's children, or inspiring readers of all backgrounds, Three Times Chai is a resource sure to please. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely Terrific
By Alex Greenbaum on January 20, 2008
Format: Hardcover
My wife and I are both rabbis and have 4 young children, along with a young congregation. There is no book out there that brings together the absolute best stories for any occasion. I have had it for two months and used it 4 times already. If you like stories or like telling stories, this is a must-have. Enjoy!
