What the Book is About
Noah’s been looking forward to attending the David Lynch Film Camp for months. But when his parents decide to sign him and his sister up for Camp Challah instead, he packs his bags, straps on his head cam, and tries to make the best of it. Noah’s awkward in social situations; combine that with an eccentric grandfather, a clueless counselor, a loyal group of friends, and a mystery dating back decades, and hilarity ensues. A cast of charming and wacky characters will keep readers on the edge of their seats in this hilarious adventure full of positive Jewish messages about friendship, kindness, and saving the world.
Jewish Content & Values
- Noah and his family are Jewish, and there’s lots of discussion about tikkun olam (repairing the world) with regard to his grandfather’s plan to save the world.
- Camp Challah is a Jewish summer camp, with activities like Israeli folk dancing, Friday night services, and bar mitzvah preparation classes.
- Nathan, Noah’s counselor, is enamored of Jewish philosophy and speaks about sixteenth-century scholar Rabbi Issac Luria with awe. Meanwhile, camp director Rabbi Blum delivers enthusiastic daily talks about Jewish ideas.
Positive Role Models
- Noah is an optimistic and persistent character who wants to do the right thing, help his grandfather, and save the world. Even though he is disappointed about not going to film camp, he never stops trying to reach his goals. Noah struggles in social situations, but he still tries to help his counselor, Nathan, speak to a girl.
- Simon is a loyal friend to Noah and helps him make other friends.
Content Advisory
One of the kids flips another a “universal gesture,” and Noah and his friends hop into a taxi summoned by a ride-sharing app in the middle of the night. Some of the kids at camp occasionally use language like “crap” and “pissed.” There’s some very mild flirting between Simon and Lily.
Talk It Over
Noah doesn’t always “read the room” in the same way that his friends do, which causes him to respond to them in unpredictable ways, especially when he meets new people. This sometimes gets him into trouble. Have you ever had a misunderstanding that endangered a friendship? What did you do about it?
More for You
Rabbi Isaac Luria (also known by his Hebrew acronym, the Arizal) lived in Safed in the sixteenth century. Although he only lived to the age of thirty-eight, he is considered one of the holiest leaders of the Jewish people and the greatest Kabbalist of his time. While he is famous for many teachings, he is best known for his conceptualization of Tikkun Olam (literally, repairing the world) as the Jewish responsibility to gather sparks of holiness to make the world a better place.
