The Christmas Mitzvah (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781939547941)

Al Rosen, a Jewish man, takes on the jobs of his Christian neighbors on Christmas Eve and day so they can spend the holiday with their families, starting a tradition that lasts for decades.

A mitzvah, as Al explains, is a good deed, especially apt on holidays. A strong cross-over read, this warm story is about kindness and differences bringing people together.

This book was selected as a Best Jewish Children's Book of 2021 by Tablet Magazine and is a Sydney Taylor honor award!
