Renate Dollinger has written and illustrated a Jewish miracle story told with charm for children aged 6-120. "The Rabbi Who Flew" tells the story of a rabbi that prays so passionately that he flew. Everyone in the little village of Gill was amazed. Even Reb Lumpy the butcher called it a miracle! However, Reb Finkel, the only shoemaker in Gill, was very worried that someone else would notice that Rabbi Frum had holes in his shoes. What would everyone think of their holy rabbi? What would they think of him--the shoemaker? This was a disaster! Renate Dollinger is known throughout North America as a Jewish expressionist painter whose vivid paintings and intaglio prints depict village life with humor and warmth. Whether described as a "Jewish Bruegel" or a "Grandma Moses of the shtetl" she has a 46-year career that has brought universal acclaim. In this story and in the stories to follow, Renate Dollinger mixes the usual day-to-day occurences with the mystical in a way that brings the soul of the shtetl back to life. Average Rating:

The problem is that Reb Finkel (the only shoemaker in the village ... Read More
