Good for thought

This is a good book to use to plan activities and ways of celebrating the various holidays in a manner to make children more interested in their own culture rather than the Christian culture that surrounds them. I think it would also work for those who became bored with the Judaism offered them as children but who wish to re-enter the Jewish way of life (or converts).

Great resource on Jewish Values, Holidays, and Traditions

As a Christian who's seriously dating a Jew, I ordered the book to help me understand what being Jewish is all about. This book has a wealth of information about embracing Jewishness, raising a Jewish family, and maintaining Jewish traditions and identity. Much of the advice is geared toward those who wish to bring more Jewish faith and culture into busy, modern lives. I appreciated the honest and suppportive perspective on interfaith relationships. The prayers, blessings,and quotes throughout the book give an inspiring picture of an embraceable faith, as well as lots of insight as to how that faith can be woven into daily life. Wonderful book, a real gem.

A great resource, comprehensive and fun!

I reccomend this book highly! Not only is it practical and informative, it's a great read. Fun and accessible. Don't miss it!
