Other editions of book Dear Elijah

When Rebecca Samuelson’s father is hospitalized and can’t be with the family at Passover, Rebecca is distressed. She doesn't want to talk to her friends about her feelings—what can they say except they’re sorry. So she begins a series of letters to Elijah, the prophet who “visits” Jewish homes during the Passover seder.

Rebecca Samuelson, a girl from a traditional Jewish family, expresses her concerns about her sick father, along with her other hopes and fears, in letters to the prophet Elijah.
