The Master Key
A Baal Shem Tov Story for Children · Ages 6–10
The Baal Shem Tov gives his student Reb Ze’ev the greatest honour of the year — blowing the shofar on Rosh Hashanah. Reb Ze’ev studies every holy kavanah and writes them all down so nothing can go wrong. Then, on the great morning, at the bimah before the whole town, the paper is gone. What he learns, and the Rebbe’s parable of the king’s palace and its many keys, is the most beloved of the Baal Shem Tov’s shofar stories — retold faithfully for children in twenty pages of bright, warm comic art, with a Words to Know glossary and a page for parents on where the story comes from. Read it together on Erev Rosh Hashanah, or give it as a Yom Tov gift.
