The original story of Jonah appears in the Prophets section of the Tanakh (an acronymthat stands for the three parts of the Hebrew Bible: Torah, the five books of Moses; Nevi’im, the Prophets; and Ketuvim, which means “writings"). Certain books from different parts of the Tanakh are read on different Jewish holidays throughout the year. The book of Jonah is paired up with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement — and when you listen to this story, you will understand why. This episode was adapted from a story written for PJ Library's guide, a Time to Grow, by Danny Paller. It is narrated by Richard Wentworth. All of our music is licensed through Epidemic Sound.
PJ Library is so happy to announce the new chapter of our award-winning storytelling podcast Have I Got a Story for You! We just launched eight special Torah Stories episodes that bring timeless biblical characters and themes to life. Kids ages 5+ will enjoy tales of Moses, Ruth, Joseph, Aaron, Rebekah, the Tower of Babel, and more.
We may be shouting about the launch, but the stories themselves are narrated in a calm, kid-friendly tone that’s perfect for bedtime, quiet playtime, or a drive in the car. For special sleepy-time visuals, please visit our YouTube channel.
