The Always Prayer Shawl by Sheldon Oberman, illustrated by Ted Lewin

From chapters.ca:
Poor Adam! Living in the Russia of the 1900s isn't easy. When his parents decide to move to America to flee the revolution he must leave his friends and his beloved grandfather behind. The prayer shawl his grandfather gives Adam becomes an important symbol in Adam's life as he grows up, marries, becomes a grandfather himself and passes on his prayer shawl to his grandson, Adam. The Always Prayer Shawl is a heartwarming tale about the importance of Jewish traditions in a changing world. Young readers will appreciate the moving story and beautiful watercolour illustrations.
