Reviews
A universal theme placed in a Jewish context. One Friday evening at synagogue, the Rabbi states that "Every Jew is God's partner in making the world a better place." Josh and Jacob are puzzled by this, and decide to ask her just how they can help God. On a class field trip to a museum in the city, the two suburban children witness the poverty and homelessness of others, apparently for the first time. They are disturbed, particularly when their teacher tells them that these problems exist because most people don't care. Josh and Jacob care, and decide to do something. The next Friday evening, the two share their ideas and enthusiasm with the Rabbi; she is excited because this is exactly what she meant by a partnership with God. The two run off, eager to include their parents in their efforts. This is a serious book, illustrated in a stiff but realistic manner, that defines and discusses a contemporary problem of major concern. Although it lacks subtlety, it will be useful as a springboard for group discussion about charity. --Susan Kaminow, Arlington County Public Library, VA
