The Sefer Torah Thief [Hardcover]

The Czar has issued a terrifying decree to the small Russian shtetl of Navastok: pay an impossible tax of one thousand rubles or face expulsion! As the Czar’s deadline draws near, the citizens of Navastok despair of saving themselves from the wicked decree.
Chatzkel believes there may still be a chance to save them, but his plan is fraught with danger. Together with his best friend, Shraga, and reluctant Velvel, the three boys are thrust into a harrowing adventure as they match wits with the ruthless Baron and his cruel henchman. Will they be able to rescue Navastok — or will their home be lost forever?
Tova Katz’s illustrations enhance this thrilling story of perseverance, survival, and trust in Hashem.
