Bookroo's summary

Goldie Simcha's famous cholent is missing from her Shabbat table, leaving her neighbors puzzled and concerned. Little Lali Omar discovers Goldie is too ill to cook, and the community faces a dilemma: how to recreate the beloved dish in time for Shabbat? As they rally together, can they preserve the tradition and warmth that Goldie's meals always brought? Dive into this heartwarming tale of community spirit and the power of coming together to overcome challenges.

From the publisher

“As warm and comforting as a bowl of cholent, this does a fine job of showing how the American mosaic can also be a satisfying whole.” – Booklist (starred review) When Goldie Simcha doesn’t joyfully throw open her door to welcome everyone into her apartment for a meal of her famouscholent, her neighbors wonder what could be wrong. Little Lali Omar knocks on the door to 5-A, only to learn that Goldie was feeling too sick on Friday to cook, and everyone knows you can’t make cholent in a hurry, right away, chik chak! But it just isn’t Shabbat without cholent. What can her neighbors do to save the day?
