When Shirley's parents open their shop, they don't expect her to help out much. Little do they know, they've got a budding CEO in the family. Shirley is spunky, funny, and full of great ideas for how to make the family recipe for gefilte fish a smashing success! This is one of our all-time favorite books, and we hope that you'll chuckle along with us.

What is Mashiach? What is the Beit HaMikdash (the temple in Jerusalem)? What is the Kotel (Western Wall)? Learn about God's home in Jerusalem, where the Jewish temples used to stand, and where we are waiting for the temple to be rebuilt once again. This is a very comforting story to help children understand the progression of history from the challenging times that we find ourselves in now to a time of peace and healing for the world.

Mrs. Katz, a widow from Poland, and Larnel, a young black boy in New York City, are uncommon but very special friends. They met when Larnel came to see if Mrs. Katz wanted to take in a scrawny cat - the runt of the litter! Mrs. Katz affectionately calls the cat "Tush" and finds laughter, friendship, and family in Larnel who regularly came to visit her. The book touches on Jewish traditions such as the Passover seder and the kaddish (mourning prayer). It's a book that we love, and we hope you enjoy it too!
