The PJ Our Way Advisory Committee Reviews Yosef Mendelevich

Here’s what they had to say about it:

1. What was your favorite part of the book?

2. Yosef’s story is really inspiring! Is there anyone in your life that inspires you?

• “My parents and grandparents”
• “My teachers”
• “My mom because she works really hard and helps others and I want to be like that”
• “Kobe Bryant because he was a hard worker and always strived for the best. I also want to work hard and accomplish goals”
• “My father”

3. In this book, Jews around the world got together to try to help Yosef and other Soviet Jews. Have you ever helped someone when they were in need?

• “Yes, when my friend was hurt I helped take her to the nurse”
• “When I was five and learned about refugees, I made a lemonade stand to raise money for asylum seekers”
• “I served food at a homeless shelter”
• “Yes, I’ve done tzedakah”
• “I love to go to Mitzvah Days at my school and synagogue to make food and other necessities for people who don’t have access to them”
• “Yes, for example whenever someone falls down on the basketball court we go over to help them”
• “I once volunteered at a soup kitchen packing up meals”
