Pre-Order The World Needs Beautiful Things

Young Bezalel is different from the other Israelite slaves in Egypt. He loves to collect stones, bugs, bits of string—these all seem beautiful to him. He keeps everything in his Beautiful Things Box and takes it with him everywhere. As the Israelites wander in the desert, God asks them to build a very special house—and Bezalel may be the only one who can create something beautiful enough to honor God.

The World Needs Beautiful Things is the work of Rabbi Leah Rachel Berkowitz and Daniele Fabbri. Ask anyone who heard her stories while she served at Judea Reform, and they'll recommend her yarn-spinning skills!
