Passover on Everest

by Rachelle Burk, Craig Orback (Illustrator)

Overview

The two things Nikki loves most are huge family holiday gatherings and huge mountains. This year, she is forced to choose between them.

In this true story about kindness across cultures, Jewish mother-daughter mountain climbing team Cheryl and Nikki Bart experience a seder like no other—seder on Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world! Initially Nikki expected they would spend their Passover huddled with strangers on an icy slope with only a bit of matzah to mark the holiday. Then came a very special surprise! An inspiring note from Cheryl and Nikki is included at the end.
