Would you believe that Mati and Ahmed, two thumb-sized kids, have found a new friend? Her name is Amal, and she is their same size! Together these three continue with adventure after zany adventure in Jerusalem. While they plant trees, ride on a cat¿s tale, fly on a pelican¿s back, enjoy ice cream while helping a poor woman, and even rescue a baby monkey at the zoo, they learn about each other. They learn how much they share, and they are curious about their differences. These stories are the fourth in a series beginning with Mini Adventures in Jerusalem. Three little people show the way to creating a better world.

In the aftermath of 9/11, Rabbi Sheldon Lewis sought solace and a path to reconciliation in Jewish texts. Peacemaking is arguably the key pillar among Jewish values, and Torah of Reconciliation seeks to reveal this primary value in diverse scriptural and rabbinical texts. Following the annual cycle of Torah readings, thematic verses or passages are interpreted and expanded through the lens of rabbinic commentary and the author s personal reflections, revealing the rich, wise resources available in Judaism for the crucial task of peacemaking in the modern world.
