Read on a tiktok where they highlighted it because it's banned in Florida (for no good reason)

I read this with my kids and we all thought it was a cute story. Made for a quick bedtime story and my kids are excited to make and try cholent soon.

This picture book was a warm an inviting read. Goldie in apartment 5A makes choldent a Jewish stew every Friday and invites her neighbors over for dinner. Her neighbors are from different parts of the world but they all gather around Goldie's table to talk about their week and eat soup. Goldie gets a surprise when a sickness prevents her from making soup. Her neighbors bring a little bit of their own culture to her dinner table in this tale of family and friendship.

The smells of Goldie Simcha's Shabbat cholent fill the apartment building and every Saturday afternoon her neighbors join her for a delicious meal. But when she is sick one Saturday, her neighbors fill in with their own special foods. Includes a recipe for cholent at the back. Recommended for grades K-2.
