Danielle Sharkan -- "Sharing Shalom" and "Ellie the Eggspert"

Leila loves going to Hebrew school and hearing stories of mighty kings and quick-witted queens. Being Jewish is a part of her story, and learning Hebrew connects her to her ancestors. L’dor V’dor! From one generation to the next!

But when Leila’s synagogue gets vandalized, she isn’t sure what she wants. Something that used to make her feel special now just makes her feel different.

Then Leila’s classmates and community come together to repair the synagogue. This compassionate gesture makes Leila realize that everyone around her is different—and that’s a beautiful thing.

Ellie is determined to win the class gardening and cooking competition. And why wouldn't she? She's an expert chef, of course.

Then she is assigned eggplant as her main ingredient and isn't even sure what an eggplant is. Do eggplants hatch eggs? Can she make it into an omelet? A souffle? A cake?

Ellie realizes she is completely stumped and must accept that maybe she isn't an expert at everything. Her friends are generous with their help, and together they create a winning entry none of them could have done alone.
