Mendel and the Pencil

A Story About Bal Tashchis

Mendel is a boy who always prefers to use new supplies of pencils, glue, and paper, rather than his perfectly-usable old ones. Then one day Mendel has an astonishing encounter with none other than his old pencil – and it opens his eyes to the nuances of bal tashchis.

Mendel and the Pencil is a charming book that teaches kids, in a fun and lighthearted way, how they too can be careful with bal tashchis!
