Review By – July 8, 2024 The Sis­ters Z is an illus­trat­ed adap­ta­tion of the bib­li­cal sto­ry of the daugh­ters of Zelophe­had. Their father dies while the Jews are trav­el­ing through the desert on the way to the Promised Land, and they choose to stay with one anoth­er and make a life togeth­er. In those days, prop­er­ty was award­ed only to male mem­bers of a fam­i­ly.

This is an inspir­ing book about a wide vari­ety of Jew­ish indi­vid­u­als who made sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tions to their com­mu­ni­ties as well as to soci­ety at large. While some are more well known than oth­ers, the book com­mu­ni­cates that they are all impor­tant, each in their own way.

By – December 4, 2023 Miryam lives in a small Jew­ish vil­lage in Ugan­da. As Shab­bat approach­es each week, her fam­i­ly cooks deli­cious food and pre­pares to spend the hol­i­day with their com­mu­ni­ty. One day, Miryam hears and becomes entranced by a rhyth­mic drum­beat. Instead of focus­ing on her Shab­bat prepa­ra­tions, she fol­lows the hyp­not­ic sounds and finds a group prac­tic­ing a spe­cial dance to wel­come Shab­bat.
