(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alida Massari. An old tradition of lighting an oil lamp instead of candles for Shabbat is recounted in this modern-day tale of suburban neighbors gathering for the traditional Sabbath meal and sharing stories about Jewish heirlooms and family rituals. A storyteller's cadence and gouache paintings in auburn tones reflect the spirit of the Friday night celebration.
