Hi! I’m Hadas. I live in Washington State. I’m in third grade. My favorite things to do are drawing and coloring, and also swimming and dance and play with the Wii. I also like to play pretend with my young sister and brother, and help my parents take care of them. I go to a Jewish day school during the week, where I like to learn Hebrew and math, as well as playing with my friends at recess. During the weekend, I enjoy swim and tennis lessons and spending time with my family. This is also when I love to have friends over and reading books. Even though I was born in Los Angeles, CA, I speak fluent Hebrew because both my parents were born in Israel. When I go to Israel, I visit a lot of places, like Jerusalem, Kibbutz Yagur, Shimshit, and Binyamina. This is because my family lives all over Israel. I have lots of fun with my cousins and my grandparents. I hope you like PJ Our Way as much as I do!

In David’s own words: It was very exciting to meet Karen Goldman, the author of Jordan and the Dreadful Golem, at Marks JCH in Brooklyn!
Ms. Goldman talked to us kids about her book and where she got the idea of the book from. She shared that once her grandson misbehaved and she decided to write a book to explain to him where his mistake was. We also did fun activities together such as selecting which superpowers we wish we could have. Ms. Goldman gave us a sneak peak on her next book about clones. I cannot wait to read it!
Jordan and the Dreadful Golem was a great book. It showed the importance of friendship. When Jordan and his friends captured the golem, everyone had a part in it. I would recommend this book to Percy Jackson lovers. It is just like Percy Jackson except for the fact that it included Jewish customs. It was fascinating to read about all the kid’s powers and how they used them.
