Counts reflect the Atlas catalogue. A link may represent a recording, a publication or an association with a local tradition.
A folktale archived in Haifa follows a Druze stonecutter who leaves his work unfinished. An educational resource from the National Library in Jerusalem follows Honi as he meets a man planting a tree whose fruit he will never eat. The cities on the map identify the institutions behind these sources.
