Editorial Review

“Caring for the world and people in need around the globe is an essential Judaic value, and so is Areyvut (Jews being responsible for one another). Rosie learns in Hebrew class about Tikkun Olam, or repairing the world by doing good deeds, and sets off to do just that with impressive determination. However, she realizes through her own introspection that in her grand efforts to help those in her community, she lost sight the needs of her family, those closest to her. In an endnote, the concept of Areyvut is explained further. This sweetly conveyed and important message should have an impact on children and adults alike.”—Association of Jewish Libraries
