Matzah Ball : A Passover Story By Mindy Avra Portnoy |
Aaron must bring a bag lunch to the baseball game during Passover, but while his friends are off at the concession stand, something wonderful happens.
Blending baseball and Passover facts, this contemporary, fast-paced story demonstrates that "It's not always easy being Jewish, but sometimes it can lead to miracles." Aaron's happiness at going with his friends to see the Baltimore Orioles is tempered by his mother's reminder that it is Passover and that he can't eat pretzels, crackerjacks, or ice cream. His non-Jewish friends eagerly devour his special lunch, which he refuses to eat. Aaron dislikes being different, especially when the others make one last trip to the concession stands. Surprised when an elderly man (could it be Elijah?) sits down beside him, Aaron listens to the man's memories of Jewish baseball fans going to games at Ebbets Field and receives a special piece of matzah that miraculously helps him catch a home-run ball hit into the bleachers. Bold, detailed watercolors perfectly complement the text's realistic language and emotions. This will be a hit with sports lovers and anyone seeking an added dimension to a holiday story |

Exodus By Brian Wildsmith |
This is the story of how one man led his people out of slavery to a
land that G-d had promised to give them. His name was Moses.
With vivid, richly detailed illustrations, Brian Wildsmith captures all the major events of one of the greatest stories in the Bible. The story of the Exodus and the rescue of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt is a powerful and exciting tale which attests that G-d’s guiding hand is always evident. In Wildsmith’s hands, this familiar journey comes alive against stunning backdrops -- from the great palaces of ancient Egypt, to the vast expanses of Sinai’s mountains and wilderness, to the peaceful place G-d’s people can finally call home. |

The Complete Story of Passover |
|
Passover As I Remember It By Toby Knobel Fluek |
This nostalgic portrait takes readers back 60 years to see how
one family living in a tiny Polish village celebrated the Jewish
holiday of Passover. With her daughter as coauthor, Fluek evokes
memories that have remained with her since childhood--her father
in his long black holiday coat, her mother making ceremonial wine
from raisins, the kashering (cleaning) of silverware for Passover
use ... The artwork itself, however, is sturdy and unpretentious,
perfectly reflecting the simple way of life described, and the
heartfelt text reveals some truly fascinating traditions. Perhaps
more meaningful for its intriguing view of a life gone by than as
an introduction to the springtime Passover festival, this is,
nonetheless, a book that leaves an indelible image.
