The Cholent Man

Book Cover & Preview Text
My name is Avrumy and I ask questions to Mommy
About Hashem and His mysterious world.
How does a tornado spin like a dreydl?
And how does its twirl get unfurled?
How did God make us? Did the Snake help Him shape us?
Do fish, frogs and dogs go to Heaven?
When His angels sing songs does God sing along?
And why is Shabbat on day seven?

About the Book
Have you ever wondered why we eat cholent every Shabbat? How did this custom begin? What does “cholent” even mean? With the help of a curious and dreamy young boy, all of cholent’s mysteries are at long last revealed. Avrumy meets a friendly stranger one Friday afternoon. After a journey together into the past, Avrumy discovers the reasons behind this long surviving Shabbat tradition. As dream blends into reality and reality fades back into dream, Avrumy grows to realize that cholent is much more than just a tasty food; it is a tradition whose observance helps keep us spiritually healthy and permanently united -- and it's yummy.
