A Basket Full of Figs

By: Ori Elon (Adaptation) illustrations: Menahem Halberstadt

Emperor Hadrian doesn’t understand why an old man is planting a fig tree when there’s no chance that he will enjoy its fruit. The story is based on a midrash, and tells us how an elderly man teaches the emperor an important lesson about concern and responsibility for the generations to come, and the strong connection between man and nature.

How Lucky I Am

By: Lawrence Schimel illustrations: Juan Camilo Mayorga

Haggai has his own Labrador dog, and his brother doesn’t have a pet. Haggai can read in the dark, while his brother has to stop reading when the light is switched off. And yet, despite the differences between them, Haggai’s brother is very proud of him. A gentle and touching story that describes the differences between the lives of two brothers, and what is, perhaps surprisingly, visible to those who cannot see.
