A new rabbi' s efforts to fix up his aging synagogue are a labour of love - and a comedy of errors - until his congregants fondly pool their talents in this lighthearted celebration of community. Rabbi Ruben loves his synagogue. But he doesn' t love the creaking floorboards, leaking sink, or drafty windows. Surely, he thinks, he can fix it up so it feels cared for, like a happy home! But Rabbi Ruben doesn' t know much about home repair, so when his creative fixes - challah dough plugging a drippy faucet, tablecloths blocking a window draft - make things humorously worse, it' ll take his whole congregation banding together to remind him what really makes a place feel like a happy home. Alice Blumenthal McGinty' s warm, inviting text pairs with Laurel Molk' s lively, friendly illustrations for a story about community and coming together - sharing, helping, caring.
