Разве угадаешь... Легенда о Ламед-вавниках
Автор Франсин Проуз
Сорок дней городок Плочник не видел дождя. Пересохли реки и озёра, коровы мучились от жажды и не давали молока.
Но сапожник Шмуэль сумел поправить дело и вызвать долгожданный дождь. Раввин и все уважаемые жители Плочника очень удивились — ведь Шмуэль казался совсем глупым, он и молиться толком не умел. Откуда же у бедного сапожника такая власть? Никто не мог этого понять, пока однажды раввину не приснился странный сон…
Американская писательница Франсин Проуз и художник Марк Подвал разгадали тайну Шмуэля, тайну святых Ламед-вавников. и пересказали эту старинную легенду в книге, которую теперь смогут прочитать и дети, и взрослые.
Translated by: Genkin, V.
he town of Plotchnik hasn't had a drop of rain in forty days. But the town's humble shoemaker, Poor Schmuel, has the power to command rain and much more. What makes him so extraordinary? Nobody, including the town elders, can explain it until one nightthe Rabbi has a very strange dream.... Francine Prose and Mark Podwal bring to life with wit and flavor another Jewish legend in this tale of Schmuel and the holy Lamed-vavniks.
From the author:
The basis of this book went to an old legend about the Lamed- vavnikah.
According to her, in every moment , in every generation, the world unknown to all the righteous live thirty six ( Lamed -Vav in Hebrew just means " thirty six ").
They never make themselves known until those who live near them, not in danger , and when the threat disappears - and these people disappear.
And if you ever happen to that generation living on earth that would be worthy of one of these thirty-six hidden saints will be the Messiah.
