{"product_id":"2940013664470","title":"Simple Chaim","description":"A young girl's world is falling apart. Her mother is deathly ill. Her over-bearing father lives in fear and has narrowed her world to the little farm they work in the Pale of Russia. Now rumors have come that the Czar has commanded the Cossacks to attack her village. Only her frail mother's faith in an ancient legend, the Lamed-Vav, stands between Raizel and the total loss of all she loves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew people have started to mysteriously appear in the sedentary village. Chaim, the new tinker, could he be one of the mysterious Lamed-Vav? Could his simple acts of kindness, and his counter-intuitive wisdom be the village's salvation? And what of the strange new youth who has come to the village? Who is he, and why does he cause Raizel to feel things she has never before experienced?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the end, Raizel will discover that nothing is ever quite what one expects, and the most miraculous results can come from unexpected sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this first in a series of stories, an old legend is introduced to help us face the challenges of our times. Our modern myth that people are only out for their own narrow interests, and that only strength and wealth prevails, is put to the test by an ancient myth of love and compassion being the true foundations of the world.","brand":"Lable Braun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070188568816,"sku":"2940013664470","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013664470_p0.jpg?v=1763584074","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013664470","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
