Joshua Mendes misses his best friend Isaac, who has moved to
Boston. Joshua's Papa is importing chocolate beans to the American
Colonies, showing cafe owners how to make hot chocolate now that
the tea tax has made tea too expensive to drink. When Papa travels
to Boston, Joshua joins him. Together, they help Isaac's family
open a chocolate house, while the people of Boston demonstrate
against British tea taxation. Set against the backdrop of Hanukkah
and the American fight for independence, this is a story of
friendship, freedom, and a love of chocolate. End notes provide
background about the Boston Tea Party, a brief explanation of the
holiday of Hanukkah, and a description of America's first Jews,
predominantly settlers from Spain and Portugal who came to escape
religious persecution and to find religious freedom and economic
opportunity. Includes recipes for Colonial-style hot chocolate and
bunuelos.
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.
