- Summary:
- "The Hebrew-Yiddish word for wisdom is Chochmah. Additionally, this word carries the connotation of a 'Bright Saying', especially of a child. We have here a unique collection of Chochmes, clever observations, witty remarks and provocative questions out of the mouths of children - all revolving around Torah and Judaism. As an introduction, many chochmes of great rabbis uttered in their childhood have been recorded." -- Back cover.
