The Dancing Shoes
A Baal Shem Tov Story for Children · Ages 6–10
It is Simchas Torah in the town of the holy Baal Shem Tov. The shul is full of light, little boys wave paper flags on their fathers’ shoulders, and the Rebbe dances in the middle, holding the Torah close to his heart. The Rebbetzin opens the door to say it is enough — and stops: a fire from Heaven is dancing with them. Then a poor chasid’s old shoe tears wide open, and Udel, the Rebbe’s daughter, has an idea. The next day the Baal Shem Tov tells what the angels found in Gan Eden that morning: torn slippers, and a crown made from them. Retold for children in twenty pages of bright, warm comic art, with a Words to Know glossary and a page for parents. Read it together on Yom Tov, or give it as a Simchas Torah gift.
