Reb Meir and his sons have prayed piously all day in the synagogue. It is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and the holiest of holy days. They wait, with growing impatiece, for the rabbi to begin the final prayer that will be the sign that their prayers have entered heaven and the long day of fasting can end, there sins forgiven.

But the gates of heaven remain closed until Yussel, tending cows in a pasture nearby, finds a way to express his heartfelt prayer to God, Masterful storytelling and elegant illustrations combine to bring this ancient rabbinic tale to life for a new generation to enjoy.
