Jacob's Jewish Feast | Belonging & Tikkun Olam SEL Story for K-3 | No-Prep CASEL-Aligned | Bilingual Family Letter | The Creative Cuisine Scene
What happens when a lonely boy decides to set an extra place at the table?
In Jacob's Jewish Feast — Book 6 of The Creative Cuisine Scene series — Jacob is missing his best friend who moved away. His grandmother Bubbe reminds him of something rooted in their Jewish tradition: there is always room at the table. Always.
So Jacob knocks on doors. He invites neighbors he barely knows. And one quiet boy named Thomas — who mentions at dinner that he has never been invited to anyone's house before — changes everything Jacob thought he understood about what one small act of kindness can do.
