Jewish Short Stories from Eastern Europe and Beyond (1995)

Leonard Nimoy does the introduction and reads In The Mail Coach by I.L. Peretz: "A traveler meets two men who tell similar stories about unhappy Jewish wives. Is it the same woman they are speaking about, or could there be many Jewish women who long for a different life?" You can listen to the introduction to the series and the story read by him or download it here. (The buttons aren't displayed properly because of broken links to the respective graphics, I think, but they still work, as I was able to download the Real Media files for both just fine.)

The Mysterious Golem (1982)

Synopsis from the backcover of the record: "It was Spring in the year 1589. Just past midnight, three men stepped forth from the Jewish quarter of the ancient city of Prague, and headed deep into the Bohemian forest. There, in seclusion by the banks of the River Moldau, these three men penetrated the very fabric of creation with Kabbalistic incantation and fervent prayer. Guided and inspired by Divine Revelation, Rabbi Yehuda Loewe and his two trusted disciples unleashed the secrets of the spiritual worlds to create a living man of clay - the Golem."

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins

In an interview with The Boston Phoenix Mr. Nimoy said about the song: "I have a certain kind of pride connected to that piece. It was done, I think, in the early ’70s, 30 years ahead of the Lord of the Rings cycle. It’s a fun piece for kids. It’s amazing that it now has this big life. It also points to another issue, which is that, fairly recently, some kids were having a conversation with President Obama and someone asked him advice about building a political future and he said, 'Be careful what you put on Facebook, because that stuff will show up.' So, there it is." Watch it on YouTube
