The story is rooted in Jewish folklore about the Lamed-Vavniks—twenty-six righteous individuals whose collective virtue sustains the world. Through a compelling narrative Prose illustrates how ordinary acts of compassion and moral integrity contribute to the greater good often without recognition or fanfare. The story emphasizes that everyone has the potential to be a Lamed-Vavnik through small kind deeds demonstrating that even in modern times these hidden righteous individuals play a vital role in maintaining balance and harmony in the world. </p><p>This witty lively version of a Jewish legend features a humble shoemaker named Schmuel whose gift for making it rain puzzles the elders of the drought-afflicted town of Plotchnik until a rabbi has a very strange dream. </p><p><strong>Insurance & handling is included free.
