Illus­trat­ed hand­some­ly with large, slight­ly styl­ized col­or art­work, this is a pic­ture book ver­sion of the Jew­ish folk­tale known as ​“Chal­lahs In the Ark.” A rich man and a poor man are oppo­sites in their needs and moti­va­tions — one bakes and places chal­lahs in the Holy Ark and the oth­er takes them to feed his fam­i­ly — but they become unit­ed in the real­iza­tion that God works mir­a­cles through human hands. For ages 7 – 9.
