At age eleven, Rosie Lepidus's main concerns are winning ring-a-levio, going to school, and staying out of trouble. But when Mama falls ill with pneumonia and Papa throws all the family's savings into the nickelodeon business, the burden of caring for her family falls on Rosie's shoulders.

Tall for her age, Rosie is able to pass for sixteen and take Mama's place sewing sleeves at a shirtwaist factory. Her family needs the money. But working conditions are horrible and the factory boss is incredibly strict. The girls are fined for nearly everything -- even talking or humming! Within days of starting work, Rosie hears the buzz about a huge strike of twenty thousand shirtwaist workers. It's the strike that Mama's been working toward for ages: a huge push for change in the workplace. Rosie wants to join in, but as the streets become more dangerous, Papa asks his daughter to return to school. And Rosie must choose: follow Papa's orders...or fight with everything she's got.

A thematic approach for 12-14 year olds and older to important religious issues discussed by Maimonides and his contemporaries. The themes: the Life and Times of Maimonides; the Concept of Talmud Torah; the Concept of God; the Idea of Messianism; and Mitzvot. Recommended for use in day schools and high schools, as well as in the afternoon school curriculum. This elegant edition is an exciting, playful, and sophisticated work and is comprised of three volumes: a teacher's guide, a student workbook and a student sourcebook. Its completion has been made possible by a generous grant from the Maurice Amado Foundation.

In this book Rabbi Neil Winkler offers us a masterful source of inspiration and insight into the early prophets. He shows us that in order to understand the vital messages of the stories, we must go beyond a simple translation of the text and identify the themes of the stories, as well as the struggles and challenges that faced the outstanding personalities of each era: the warriors and the women, the prophets and the kings. This is an invaluable tool for educators who want to instil in their students a love -- even a passion -- for Torah. It will lay the foundation for an intellectually honest approach to the biblical text, one that will serve students well in future years. Not for teachers alone, this book is for anyone who desires to study the works of our prophets in depth and get a better appreciation of the flow and themes of the narrative -- it is for anyone who wants to bring the prophets to life.

Retells the story of the Passover and the Israelites' flight from Egypt and explains the traditions of the Passover Seder today.

Mayer Aaron Levi lives in a small village. Like his fellow Jews, Mayer Aaron studies Torah and goes to the synagogue three times a day. Unlike everybody else, he also owns a lemon tree. When the lemons are ripe his wife Raizel brews her special lemonade, chills it and puts it in jars so that Mayer Aaron can make extra money for the family by selling it in the town square. Even though Raizel is very possessive about the lemons, Mayer Aaron realises that they have more than enough. While he finds a way to secretly share the extra lemons with the village's poor people, Raizel thinks a thief is stealing them. The plot thickens as Raizel sits outside guarding the family property, only to find that her husband has a lesson he wants to hand down from generation to generation.
