"Times are tough, economically, for Gabriel and his family this Rosh Hashanahtheir antique store and other neighborhood businesses are on the verge of shutting down. As a round challah is baking in the oven, a U.S. Army soldier (astute readers will note his name tag reads 'Tishbi' as in 'Eliayhu ha-Tishbi,' Prophet Elijah, the Tishbite) knocks on the door hoping to find a place to store a precious family heirloom while he is on duty overseas. He tells Gabriel and his mother that this old French horn brings good luck. They do their best to clean it, but it remains stubbornly tarnished. However, as time passes, the familys good fortune improves as they perform various mitzvot and give tzedakah throughout their neighborhood. After seven years, the soldier returns, opens the case and is astonished to see how shiny his old horn has become, and offers it to Gabriel as a gift. This story about the importance of tzedakah and Elijah the Prophet is loosely adapted by famed childrens author Eric Kimmel from Yiddish writer I.L. Peretzs story titled 'Seven Good Years.'"--Jewish Journal, "Times are tough, economically, for Gabriel and his family this Rosh Hashanahtheir antique store and other neighborhood businesses are on the verge of shutting down. As a round challah is baking in the oven, a U.S. Army soldier (astute readers will note his name tag reads 'Tishbi' -- as in 'Eliayhu ha-Tishbi,' Prophet Elijah, the Tishbite) knocks on the door hoping to find a place to store a precious family heirloom while he is on duty overseas. He tells Gabriel and his mother that this old French horn brings good luck. They do their best to clean it, but it remains stubbornly tarnished.

This story about the importance of tzedakah and Elijah the Prophet is loosely adapted by famed children's author Eric Kimmel from Yiddish writer I.L. Peretz's story titled 'Seven Good Years.'"--Jewish Journal, "Kimmel first adapted I.L. Peretz's story 'Seven Years' for his collection Days of Awe: Stories for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Viking Press, 1991). Here is another version of the story in picture book format with a modern boy as the main character and a horn instead of a samovar. As Gabriel's family is preparing for Rosh Hashanah, a US Army soldier appears at their door. He asks them to keep his grandfather's French horn safe for him while he serves overseas. While the family owns an antique shop, Gabriel's mom is hesitant to take on the responsibility of storing the instrument. Gabriel convinces her after the soldier promises that the horn will bring them good luck. He then vanishes before they can ask him his name. The horn is black and tarnished and no matter how hard she tries, Gabriel's mother is unable to polish it. But, when Gabriel gives tzedakah (charity) to two girls collecting for the poor, a streak of polished brass shines on the bell of the horn. As time passes, good luck and fortune follow the family and they, in turn, perform mitzvot (good deeds): they help to build a new playground in their neighborhood, they buy furniture for a new immigrant family, and they donate to the local food pantry. And with each good deed, the horn's tarnish slowly disappears. After seven years, the soldier returns and says: 'Do you know how old this horn is? It's older than the world. In all the time this horn existed, no one ever used its blessing better than your family. That old horn never shined brighter than it does now. You've earned the right to keep it.' The soldier again vanishes but not before Gabriel figures out who he really isthe prophet Elijah (the name on the soldier's uniform--Tishbi--gives astute readers a clue)! The textured, multi-dimensional illustrations, with vibrant reds and purples, beautifully depict a multi-cultural, contemporary urban setting. 'The Samovar' in Days of Awe still makes for a nice read-aloud but this illustrated edition will introduce the timeless tale to a new audience. The Rosh Hashanah tie-in will make it a welcome addition to the holiday bookshelf but the story can be enjoyed all year long to discuss the Jewish value of tzedakah."--AJL, "Kimmel first adapted I.L.

The Rosh Hashanah tie-in will make it a welcome addition to the holiday bookshelf but the story can be enjoyed all year long to discuss the Jewish value of tzedakah."--AJL, "On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, a white Jewish boy receives the unusual responsibility of caring for an old, tarnished horn and wonders if his family's subsequent good fortune could be the result of how he carries out his charge.Hard times have hit Gabriel's neighborhood. Many stores surrounding his family's antiques shop have closed, though Gabriel hopes the new year will bring a turnaround. Then an African-American soldier knocks and hands Gabriel an old neglected horn that belonged to the enlisted man's grandfather, requesting that the antiques-store owners keep it during his deployment. Kimmel has updated his story 'The Samovar,' which appeared in the collection Days of Awe (1991), about the legendary character Elijah who can take on numerous disguises - like a soldier - to help and influence those less fortunate. The Czarist Russian setting is remade into a contemporary American integrated urban community of Muslims, Jews, African-Americans, Latinos, and Asian residents. Over the years Gabriel engages in tzedakah (acts of charity), and the horn magically brightens each time until its gleaming shine represents Gabriel's family's kindness and new prosperity. Kimmel's shorter, more dialogue-driven narrative carries readers to an understanding of Gabriel's revelation seven years later, when the soldier returns. A moving update of a powerful story." -- Kirkus Reviews
