What a wonderful piece! A most delightful tale with some very nice messages for children of all ages…

Professor Marc Bernstein, Hebrew and Israeli Cultural Studies, Michigan State University

Amazing, thoughtful, scholarly, and emotionally moving… You’ve communicated an entire adult book of high level Jewish content in a kind of young adult detective story.  It's really wonderful.

Rabbi Nadav Caine

Absolutely fascinating! The connections made between the talit, the tzitzit, and the past are just fantastic…

Rabbi Robert Dobrusin

Powerful! A child rethinks a ritual to make it more personal. This book will undoubtedly feed many children in their quest for a deeper knowledge of their family traditions…

Ellen Goldblatt, Multifaith Chaplain, Seattle

I bought your book and loved it.  I was so encouraged by a child who has a chiddush (something new to contribute).  And the way you wove so much information into it was really fascinating and a great lesson to educators.  His dreams are so productive.  That’s a great way to understand “spacing out” in shul (synagogue).

Mordechai Rakover

If My Talit Could Talk…? is a masterpiece of Jewish education: welcoming, beautiful, literate, expansive, filled with halakhah, history, meaning and midrash. May it continue to inspire many in fulfillment of the mitzvah of tallit.
