The Bamboo Cradle is a biographical story written by Avraham Schwartzbaum about his adopted Taiwanese daughter Devorah, who converted to Judaism at age four.[1][2]
First published in 1988 by Feldheim Publishers, the inspirational story tracks the story of Allen/Avraham and Barbara/Rachel Schwartzbaum as they become more devout Jews after adopting a foundling in a Taiwan train station.[3] The book was translated by Ruth Feldheim into Hebrew as "מסין לסיני: עריסת הבמבוק" (From China to Sinai: The Bamboo Cradle) and published the same year. It was also translated into French by Daniel Halevy and published in 1990 under the title "Le Berceau de Bambou".
