(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sharon Harmer. Monty Nudelman helps his neighbors shovel after a snowstorm and injures his back. On Shabbat afternoon, the neighborhood kids bring the man cholent (Jewish stew), and they share a communal feast. The story highlights themes of community within the traditions of the Jewish sabbath. The friendly illustrations show happy kids and adults in a suburban setting with some nods toward diversity. A cholent recipe is appended.
