Every year before the holiday of Sukkot, Jews all around the world purchase an etrog-a lemon-like fruit-to participate in the holiday ritual. In this book, David Z. Moster tracks the etrog from its evolutionary home in Yunnan, China, to the lands of India, Iran, and finally Israel, where it became integral to the Jewish celebration of Sukkot during the Second Temple period. Moster explains what Sukkot was like before and after the arrival of the etrog, and why the etrog's identification as the "choice tree fruit" of Leviticus 23:40 was by no means predetermined. He also demonstrates that once the fruit became associated with the holiday of Sukkot, it began to appear everywhere in Jewish art during the Roman and Byzantine periods, and eventually became a symbol for all the fruits of the land, and perhaps even the Jewish people as a whole.

This is a delightful story about a young girl who finds two baby birds at her Grandma and Grandpa's house. She raises them until they are big enough to live on their own. She watches the baby birds transorm into independent adult birds right before her eyes. Then one day she sees them fly off into the trees of her backyard. She feels great warmth in her heart when she sees the effects of her kind and caring efforts. This is a true story and is written in memory of my 10 year old niece Christine who passed away on August 8, 2008.
