A Mouse in the Rabbi's Study: The weather is turning cool and a mouse, who is looking for a place to spend the winter, makes his way into the synagogue. When the rabbi discovers him, they strike a bargain. Since the somewhat plump Rabbi Saltzman enjoys eating while he works, he often makes a mess with crumbs that rain all over his desk and onto the floor. If the mouse, who the rabbi names Mazel (luck), will keep his study tidy, he can stay.
As the weeks and months go by, Rabbi Saltzman teaches Mazel about the Jewish holidays and the special food associated with each. Because they have become good friends, by spring both rabbi and mouse are sad to part. Then there's a great surprise ending!
“ I got the idea for the book when the High Holidays were coming and our house was suddenly inundated with mice... ”
While dealing with the emergency, the longtime early childhood educator began to imagine what would happen if a mouse found its way into a rabbi’s study at Rosh Hashanah. The rabbi she invented likes to eat at his desk and enlists the aid of the mouse, whom he dubs Mazel, to clean up his crumbs. Their humorous relationship extends through a year of Jewish holidays and gives Mazel a Jewish education, along with tastes of challah, latkes, hamantashen and other holiday leftovers.
Beautifully illustrated by Colorado pastel artist Pegi Ballenger, the book includes a CD dramatization of the story interspersed with holiday songs performed by Daniel Stellini. While the warm-hearted story is aimed primarily at children in kindergarten through third grade, the story is educational and entertaining for youngsters of any age, as well as for adults interested in learning about Judaism.

I ordered some Kippots and Tzitzis from Mile Chai over 2 months ago. I've made several calls and they never answer their phone and their voice mailbox is often full (surprise), and I've emailed several times--the only time they EVER reply back is when I threaten to cancel the order. Promises, excuses... I have to pull the plug on this, I've waited long enough. I just canceled my order today. I'm obviously very unhappy and disappointed with the way Mile Chai has treated me.
Never buy from this web site - they do not deliver on their promises. I placed an order almost a month ago and had to terminate it today. I have followed up for two weeks only to find out today after multiple excuses and promises that they did not ship it yet and will not be able to do so for a few more weeks.
