The third volume of Amazing Miracle Stories is ready for printing, yet funds are still needed to make it happen.
“This project is designed to cover its costs, and all proceeds are reinvested into this innovative book. Therefore, no one is making or will be making money,” says Yosef Shidler, the founder of the TzaddikStory.org project. The goal is simply to provide inspiring stories for this generation’s children as a unique way to connect with Hashem and our tzaddikim.
An instant hit, the first two books combine rich graphics and illustrations with a beautiful layout alongside incredible kid-friendly stories from a group of very talented writers. Stories of Tzaddikim and miracles have never been brought to life in such an animated illustrated fashion.
The first two volumes were such original, innovative books that they quickly became a must-have for Jewish homes across the globe. Sales have come from Australia, Israel, England, Canada, South Africa, and, of course, all over the United States.
Volume III features over 60 lively stories, connecting kids with amazing tales from Israel post the Oct 7th terror attacks, miraculous events in the army, and legendary tzaddikim figures like The Baal Shem Tov, Reb Shayala of Keristiya, the Rebbeim of Chabad, the Arizal, Reb Shimon Bar Yochai, Reb Zusha & Reb Elimelech, Shlomke of Zvhill, Rabbi Yisrael Dov of Vilednik, Be’er Mayim Chayim, The Ruzhner, Rabbi Yaakov Shimshon of Shepetovka, The Bava Sali, The Lelover, and many more.
Since the original release, we’ve been receiving constant requests for a Volume III. It’s been in the works; however, producing books of this kind and caliber is expensive, with minimal profit margins. This harsh reality keeps most publishers from taking on new projects with high-risk factors like this. With all the original images, stories, editing, layout design, and printing, the total cost is over $40,000.
Most of that amount is already covered by previous book sales. Prior to this series, this is the first time anyone has been willing to invest so much in a kids’ book. Traditionally, anything even close was printed in Israel and sold in America for extra profit.
So many blessings are promised to those who recount and share stories of tzaddikim, spreading their miracles. How many more blessings may come from printing and distributing those same stories? How many more blessings come from supporting something read by thousands of Jewish boys and girls worldwide? The campaign goal is a meager 10k, but the impact is massive. If you can’t make a large donation but still want to be a part of this project, you can preorder the book via a small donation of $40.

If someone can give more than a $40. preorder, what size donations do they have in mind?
That is, what are the smallest “large donation” amounts?
