Treasury of Jewish Holidays Book

The Jewish tradition holds that parents bear the responsibility of teaching children the Torah, the ethical way to live, as well as the history of Judaism. But how can parents teach these crucial lessons in ways that are entertaining, meaningful, and respectful? What happens if they can't remember all the lessons and important historical events? This Family Treasury of Jewish Holidays offers some solutions to these quandaries. For instance, by reading the compelling Hebrew stories and poems aloud, parents help children learn through the realm imagination--the place where characters, images, and ancient lessons come alive. "Listening to a riveting story will build anticipation for a holiday, encourage a wish for a Jewish life, and create sweet memories of reading together," offers Malka Drucker in her introduction. The treasury also includes numerous poems, holiday crafts, recipes, and family activities. This is an excellent gift and keepsake for any Jewish household with young children. --Gail HudsonRead More
