The Cholent Man (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781456751371)

Have you ever wondered why we eat cholent every Shabbat? How did this custom begin? What does "cholent" even mean? With the help of a curious and dreamy young boy, all of cholent's mysteries are at long last revealed. Avrumy meets a friendly stranger one Friday afternoon. After a journey together into the past, Avrumy discovers the reasons behind this long surviving Shabbat tradition. As dream blends into reality and reality fades back into dream, Avrumy grows to realize that cholent is much more than just a tasty food; it is a tradition whose observance helps keep us spiritually healthy and permanently united -- and it's yummy.
