Many years after the great flood, Noah’s descendants were tired of wandering and traveling. The people decided to settle on a wide plain. Many many years – and generations – had passed since the flood. Some people didn’t even remember it -- and they had grown vain and had forgotten the promises they had made to God.

The original story of Jonah appears in the Prophets section of the Tanakh (an acronym that 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.
