A Baal Shem Tov Story for Children · Ages 6–10
It is Yom Kippur in the town of the holy Baal Shem Tov. A great danger hangs over a far-away village, and the Rebbe davens with all his might; his talmidim daven from the depths of their hearts, and the whole shul cries out to Heaven. At the back stands a shepherd boy who cannot read a single word. He has no siddur and no words — but he has a voice, and when the gates are closing at Ne’ilah he does the only thing he knows how to do. The Baal Shem Tov’s beloved Yom Kippur story, with his parable of the king’s lost son who forgot his father’s language, retold faithfully for children in twenty pages of bright, warm comic art, with a Words to Know glossary and a page for parents. Read it together before Yom Kippur, or give it as a Yom Tov gift.
