As a Librarian and Hebrew School teacher, I highly recommend this book - it's great for units on Shabbat, and life-cycle events as well as being fun for reading aloud.
A beautiful story.

An older woman moves from her home to a small apartment with her cat. She expresses her sadness about leaving her home. As she unpacks she finds her Sabbath candlesticks. Cleaning them, she remembers the beautiful family dinners she had. The candlesticks motivate her to make her new apartment feel like her home as she welcomes her family for Sabbath dinner. A beautiful story about the sadness of an older person giving up the life she knew, and the strength of family in adjusting to a new life.
