As we look forward to Shavuot, here’s a selection from the children’s collection:
“Shavuot is only two weeks away and Sarah is thinking about the mountain of blintzes she is hoping to make for her family. But, there is one problem – they have no spare money for the ingredients. Sarah and Max come up with a scheme for making the much needed extra money. With every good intention of daily putting their hard earned coins into a coin box, Shavuot draws near and the entire family gathers to open the coin box only to find there is not one coin inside!
Set in the 1920’s in the Catskill Mountains, A Mountain of Blintzes is a sweet story of a family pulling together. With truly delightful illustrations and a story with a touch of the tradition of Chelm, A Mountain of Blintzes is a Shavuot treat!”
Books may be borrowed for three weeks.
