the stove. She pushed her onto
her knees, placed heavy bricks in
her hands, and ordered her to
raise them above her head. Poor
Salusha was forced to remain in
this position for some hours. Nev-
er again did she ask for fairness
or justice.
f the name Mordechai Kaplan
sounds familiar, but you're not
sure if he was your third-grade
Hebrew teacher or an Israeli
Defense Force leader in the War
of Independence or founder of the
Reconstructionist movement (the
latter is correct), Thinkers and
Teachers of Modern Judaism
(Paragon House) is for you.
The book, edited by Raphael
Patai and Emanuel Goldsmith,
includes essays on such leading
Jewish figures as Martin Buber,
Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik and
Rabbi Leo Baeck. Chapters con-
sider the philosophies and reli-
gious outlooks of each man as
well as how his views have helped
shaped Judaism.
Thinkers and Teachers of Mod-
ern Judaism also features essays
on leading Jewish authors Yehu-
da Amichai and Primo Levi,
about whom Richard Rubenstein
writes:
His capacity for dispassionate
analysis stood him in good stead
in chemistry. It also contributed
materially to his survival in
Auschwitz. The same quality is
always present in his writing. He
never sensationalizes; he almost
never lets his own feelings intrude
on the cool accuracy of his de-
scriptions of many of the most de-
grading, anti-human experiences
to which men and women have
ever been subjected. Refraining
from anger, Levi shifts the bur-
den of anger and indignation to
his readers for whom it is in-
escapable.
There is a certain village that
bears the unusual name of the
Place Where Nobody Stops.
Mordecai is about to stop there.
The Place Where Nobody
Stopped (Beech Tree), by Jerry
Segal, (for ages 10 and up) begins
in the 19th century on "a very old
and very famous dirt road. But
I must tell you, when it began its
life over a thousand years ago,
it wasn't famous. It wasn't even
a road. It was a narrow, sandy
footpath."
Traveling along the road, read-
ers meet Yosip the Baker, Morde-
cai ben Yahbahbai and a host of
other curious and delightful char-
acters.
The story focuses on Mordecai,
who is trying to get to America
but stops — for 10 years — in the
Place Where Nobody Stops,
where he is to receive passports
from a cousin.
The Place Where Nobody Stops
is a Bulletin Blue Ribbon Award
Winner.

In Brooklyn Doesn't Rhyme,
Ms. Blos tells the story of a first-
generation schoolgirl named
Rosey.
Rosey can't understand why
her teacher would want her to
write about her family — until
she begins to carefully consider
the individuals who have helped
shape her 11 years.
There is Uncle Benny and
Tenth Ruth, Uncle Mendel (who
hires two hansom cabs so that
"even a poor man such as I can
for fifteen minutes live like a
Rockefeller"), Johnny who goes
to Detroit to make his fortune,
and her own father who arranges
all his money at night, placing
dimes, nickels and quarters into
piles.
The bills go into rubber bands
which the children do not solicit
on their own — "that would not
be right" — but if one happens to
drop, well, "then it is finders
keepers."
And what exactly would one do
with this rubber band? Why add
it to his collection, of course, un-
til it becomes a large ball covet-
ed by just about everyone.
Ms. Blos also is the author of
A Gathering of Days, which won
the 1980 Newbery Medal and the
American Book Award.
The Shadow Children is the
story of Etienne, who makes an
unusual discovery while visiting
his grandfather the summer af-
ter World War II. As he wanders
in the woods near his grandfa-
ther's home, Etienne comes
across a group of refugee children,
living in hiding.
At first, Etienne's grandfather
insists the boy must be imagin-
ing things. But soon after the boy
scrawls a number on his arm, re-
calling the one he had seen on the
children in the woods, and the
two begin to talk.
"The Nazis ordered us to bring
them all to the stone bridge below
Mont Brulant," the grandfather
says. "They said a special train
would be waiting there. Any for-
eign children found after that
train departed would be shot,
along with the families hiding
them. Shot! They would shoot the
children and they would shoot us
too, for protecting them. That's the
kind of madness I mean, a mad-
ness that turns right into wrong
and wrong into right...
"Why didn't you all just run
away?" I asked, bringing my fore-
arm up to my mouth.
"Run where? There was no
place to hide. The Nazis were
everywhere. They would have
hunted us down and shot us like
squirrels — What's wrong with
your arm?"
"It burns," I cried, tears rush-
ing to my eyes.
