"Welcoming Elijah: A Passover Tale with a Tail" by Susan Gal is a charming story that captures the spirit of Passover through the eyes of a curious cat named Elijah. As the family prepares for the Seder, Elijah observes the traditions and rituals with wonder. With each step of the Passover ceremony, from the telling of the Exodus story to the setting of an extra place at the table for the prophet Elijah, the cat experiences the warmth of family, history, and the importance of welcoming guests. It's a delightful exploration of joy, belonging, and the celebration of heritage. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
