This page is part of my Twitter Thread Index. Every Sunday, I post a thread on Twitter about a figure from Jewish history and why their work matters. The threads are collected in browsable form in the index.
R. Berechia ben Natronai ha-Nakdan, late 12th century Normandy and England, was known as “the Jewish Aesop” for his collection of animal fables, Mishlei Shualim.
