 Reflecting his own Jewish traditions, "Grandpa's Gamble" finds a young boy trying to understand why his elderly grandfather spends so much time in prayerful silence.When the boy's question is answered by Grandpa Sam, the boy learns about the persecution of Jews in Poland many years before, and about how his immigrant grandfather had used the opportunities available in America to become a wealthy man before the illness of a child humbled him and caused him to return to his faith.
