A Delightful Compendium of Consolation: A Fabulous Tale of Romance, Adventure and Faith in the Medieval ...
Burton L Visotzky
Ben Yehuda Press, 2008
Delightful!
+ What a great read!
First, let me say that I cannot think of anything that I would change about this book. "A Delightful Compendium" is historical fiction in the form of letters imagined as part of the Cairo Geniza manuscripts. At first, I thought that using nothing but letters and journal entries to tell the story ...

A Mystical Haggadah: Passover Meditations, Teachings, and Tales
Eliahu Klein
North Atlantic Books, 2008
Don't bother.
If you are thinking about this Hagadah, stop right now! Sure it contains the necessary components to lead a seder, but it is not particularly insightful and won't help you or yours to a better or fresher understanding of the text. The stories/legends that are interwoven within the Hagadah feel ...

Tilda Balsley
Kar-Ben Publishing, 2008
Poetic Justice
+ Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star Review
This lively picture book is a playful articulation of the Israelites's exodus from Egypt. Constructed as a reader's theater, the book's rythmic poetry entrances as it follows Moses and his navigation through Pharoah's broken promises to the haunting victory at the end of the story.
