Every time Gabriel wears his magician’s cape and waves his magic wand, he gets into trouble. When his mother puts him in time-out and tells him magicians do mitzvot, not mischief, Gabriel does an about-face. With his new magic words: one-wish, two-wish, Jew-wish, he begins to do mitzvot around the house. He surprises his mother as he ‘magically’ makes the kitchen clean, the toys return to their toy box and a yummy snack appear on the table. He is truly Gabriel the Great, Mitzvah Magician.
Adorable illustrations by Christiane Engel make this a must-have book for any young child ready to learn about the magic of doing mitzvot. Recommended for ages 3 – 8.
