About the Book

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.

Review :
The heirloom in Tami Lehman-Wilzig s second story in Gefen s new series is a branch of a tree a lemon tree that stood in a large vat in my great-great-grandfather s front yard over eighty years ago. Set in a shtetl, its theme is a familiar one in Jewish lore: the idea that just enough is plenty : and that sharing what one has with others less fortunate is an important mitzvah. Mayer Aaron Levi s tree is fruitful enough to produce lemons for his wife to make into lemonade and some extra to give to neighbors. Mayer extends his generosity without telling his wife and when she discovers that some of the lemons she carefully counts are missing, he lets the recipients of his gift show her, through their gratitude, the importance of tzedaka. Written for children in grades 2 4, with softly colored, engaging illustrations, the story is followed by several pages of lined paper on which children are urged to write about their own family s tzedaka heirloom. Recommended with the same caveat as noted in the other Jewish Heirloom story. --Linda R. Silver, Jewish Valuesfinder, Cleveland, OH Sept/Oct 2007 issue of the AJL (Association of Jewish Libraries) Newsletter
