Space Torah
Starred Review
★ “[S]parkling picture-book biography . . . . The illustrations allow readers to marvel at all aspects of the story, whether through luminous backgrounds of space or in depictions of key moments in Hoffman’s life. . . . A beautiful and meaningful juxtaposition of ancient Jewish tradition with modern space exploration.”—starred, Booklist
“. . . This book is a delight. The details will be fascinating to both children and adults. Spinning a dreidel as it floats in midair? Hebrew school students voting on which miniature Torah to take into space! How do you decide when it’s Shabbat in outer space when a day is only 90 minutes? Kids will definitely be intrigued. . . . It’s wonderful to have a book that emphasizes scientific experience while at the same time subtly touches on spirituality. . . . Highly recommended for purchase for both synagogue and school libraries.”—AJL News & Reviews
“. . . Torah is perfect for children who show an interest in space exploration and how they, as humans, fit into our remarkable galaxy. . . . Space Torah should be considered for Sydney Taylor recognition.”—Sydney Taylor Shmooze
