| Summary: | Isaac B. Singer's great short story ‘Gimpel the Fool’ is a tale of redemption.

The story reminds us that human interdependence is so profound that by our actions we can not only transform the meaning of our own past and future, but we may also radically affect the meaning of the past and the possibilities for the future of those closest to us. |
