The Note from Heaven
A Baal Shem Tov Story for Children · Ages 6–10
It is Sukkos in the town of the holy Baal Shem Tov, and everyone is building a sukkah. Reb Kalman the merchant builds a palace; Berel the woodcutter has only three old boards. The Rebbe sends away the fine new boards his students bring him and builds a small, crooked sukkah with his own hands — so crooked that the greatest scholars of the town open their seforim and come to argue. Then the Baal Shem Tov rests his head on his hand, opens it, and finds a note from Heaven. The story told in Baal Shem Tov al HaTorah, with the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s explanation of why he built it, retold for children in twenty pages of bright, warm comic art, with a Words to Know glossary and a page for parents. Read it together in the sukkah, or give it as a Yom Tov gift.
