Pinkney, whose previous works in-
dude Seven Candles for Kwanzaa.
Hooray! It's Passover!"
(HarperCollins), by Leslie Kim-
melman, with illustrations by
John Kimmelman, tells the story
of a family preparing for the hol-
iday. Relatives arrive as the
daughter places Haggadot on the
table. She's looking forward to the
"crunchy matzah."
Grandfather tells the story of
Pharaoh and Moses, while the
men and women are divided on
what's the best part of the meal
(the uncles like the bitter herbs;
) the aunts prefer haroset).
Next Year in Jerusalem:
3,000 Years of Jewish Stories
(Viking), by Howard Schwartz,
with illustrations by Neil Wald-
man, is a collection of true stories,
fairy tales and legends about Is-
rael's capital. The pieces often are
compelling and haunting, such as
) story of the chair of Rabbi Nach-
man of Bratslay.
Rabbi Nachman (1772-1811) re-
ceives a beautiful chair that be-
comes precious to his followers, and
their children, and their children.
When the Nazis come to power, the
Jews hope to escape with the chair:
but how? Then they recall a para-
ble, told by Rabbi Nachman, about
2 a king's son. They decide to dis-
mantle the chair, each taking a
piece, and reassemble it when they
get to Eretz Yisrael.
"Now in those dangerous times,
there were few who escaped un-
harmed," Mr. Schwartz writes.
Yet each person carrying a piece
of the chair arrived safely in
Jerusalem.
"That chair can be seen to this
day in the Brat,slaver synagogue
in Jerusalem, where it has been
placed beside the Ark."

Jerusalem: Battlegrounds of
Memory (Kodansha) is journalist

> Amos Elon's portrait of a many-
textured city. He writes of the past
and the present, geography, liter-
ature and religion, creating what
author Arthur Miller termed "a
learned book and a charming one
... a book as complex and surpris-
ing as the city itself." (Originally
published as Jerusalem: City of

Mirrors.)
Zohar: The Book of Splendour

(Schocken) contains selected pas-
sages from the Kabbalah, the Jew-
ish mystical writings. This classic
work was edited by Gershon Sc-
holem, former professor of Jewish
mysticism at the Hebrew Uni-
versity of Jerusalem.

H The Survivor of the Holocaust

(Kensington) by Jack Eisner, orig-
inally was published in 1980. This

sistance organization. Mr. Eisner
was 13 when the Nazis invaded
his native Poland. His story fo-
cuses on life inside the Warsaw
Ghetto, including the revolt. Af-

ter the war, Mr. Eisner helped the
U.S. government track down Nazi
war criminals. El
