Folktales of Joha, Jewish TricksterJoha has Janus's double face: On the one hand, he is innocent and stupid; on the other, a trickster. He is a cheater and is cheated. He sets traps for others and falls into traps himself; he is simpleton and liar, victimizer and victim. But as a literary figure he never dies. The nearly 300 stories in this lovely volume are from Sephardic oral literature and ethnic culture. They were told to Matilda Koen Sarano in their original language, Judeo
Joha has Janus's double face: On the one hand, he is innocent and stupid; on the other, a trickster. He is a cheater and is cheated. He sets traps for others and falls into traps himself; he is simpleton and liar, victimizer and victim. But as a literary figure he never dies. The nearly 300 stories in this lovely volume are from Sephardic oral literature and ethnic culture. They were told to Matilda Koen-Sarano in their original language, Judeo-Spanish (Ladino), and documented over 21 years. From 17 countries, including the United States, they come together in this first-ever collection of Joha stories to appear in English. Known in some places as Ladino, Judeo-Spanish is a living remnant of the Spanish spoken by the Spanish Jews at the end of the 15th century. Matilda Koen-Sarano, born to a Sephardic family, has devoted her life to the conservation and revitalization of this language, culture, and heritage. Joha, according to Ladino tradition, is a popular folklore character, one who is conniving yet also beguiling. He plays many roles: He makes us laugh; liberates us from taboos; makes it possible to tell the whole, sometimes painful, truth in a humorous way; and helps us triumph over our enemies through laughter. These stories have entertained generations of Sephardic children and adults and will delight readers of any age.Binding Type: Hardcover

Clean good
I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this trimmer is to handle. The design feels lightweight in my hand, and the gray color actually looks really sleek on my counter. The blades work smoothly without pulling, and it gives a neat trim without irritation. I like that it’s simple to clean and doesn’t take up much space in my drawer. The noise level is low enough that it doesn’t feel distracting, and the on/off button is placed in a way that makes it comfortable to use. It’s a straightforward tool that does exactly what I need, and it’s made my routine a lot quicker and more convenient.

Perfect size for my travel bag
I threw this trimmer in my bag for a weekend trip. It doesn’t take up much space, and it was charged before I left. Ended up using it at the hotel, and it was super quick to set up. I just trimmed, rinsed it under the sink, and done. The battery lasted the whole trip, I didn’t even bother packing the charger. I liked that it didn’t make a mess, which is usually my issue with razors when I’m away from home. It’s small and easy to hold, I didn’t feel like I needed a whole setup to use it. Now I actually keep it in my travel bag so I don’t forget next time. For trips where space is limited, this turned out to be a good little tool to have.

Quiet but Strong
The sound level surprised me. I expected a louder buzz, but it’s much quieter, which makes using it less stressful. The size is small enough to maneuver easily, but it doesn’t sacrifice strength. Even with thicker hair, it trims without pulling. That’s usually my main concern with electric tools, but this one feels secure and safe. Another thing I enjoy is how light it feels in my hand. I used it on my arms, legs, and bikini line, and I didn’t have to grip tightly. The design makes it simple to hold and move around curves without nicking the skin.

Great Trimmer for Sensitive Areas
I’ve been really happy with this Dermave bikini trimmer. It’s compact, easy to handle, and works well on delicate areas without causing nicks or irritation. The 2 in 1 feature is great. I use the smaller head for facial touch ups and the larger one for bikini and body areas. The ceramic blade glides smoothly and feels safer than traditional razors. I like that it’s waterproof, so I can use and rinse it in the shower. The charging dock keeps it neat and charges it quickly. Battery life has been solid so far. It’s also pretty quiet, which is a bonus. Whether you’re maintaining between waxes or just prefer trimming, this is a reliable and gentle option.
