About this ebook
Joseph always welcomes guests to his Sabbath table, while his greedy neighbor Judah scoffs at Joseph’s generosity. Even as his fortunes decline, Joseph’s door remains open. But times change and Judah turns to his Joseph for help. A very special fish helps Joseph save the day.

Reviews for Joseph and the Sabbath Fish
7 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What we give to the Sabbath is repaid a thousandfold." Great story, whether read as parable or fable. Gracefully & engagingly told (as are all Kimmel's works). I wasn't thrilled with the art, but it is bright and iconographic, likely to be appealing to children."
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Joseph is a poor man who spends his meager budget to honor the Sabbath by welcoming guests and serving delicacies. His neighbor, a wealthy merchant, is worried that Joseph will gain his riches. The merchant converts his holdings into one large gem, which ends up in the water. When local fishermen net a large beautiful fish, they know Joseph will buy it. When Joseph cuts it open, he finds the neighbor’s jewel, and both learn the lesson from the Talmud (Shabbat 119a): if someone provides money for the benefit of the Sabbath, the Sabbath will more than repay him.
