Shabbat Blessings

By Allison Eley

Shabbat Blessings is a beautifully written children's book that invites families to rediscover the joy, peace, and purpose of the Sabbath as the Creator designed it. As part of the Yahweh's Rhythms and Reminders collection, this engaging story gently introduces children to Shabbat as a holy, set-apart time for rest, worship, and meaningful connection with the Creator and one another.

Through a warm and relatable glimpse into a family's Friday night tradition, readers experience the beauty of Erev Shabbat-lighting candles, sharing a meal, and speaking blessings over loved ones. This book helps children understand that Shabbat is more than a break from routine; it is a weekly invitation to cease from striving, trust in Yahweh as Provider, and align with His life-giving rhythm.

A special feature of Shabbat Blessings is the inclusion of one family's Friday night blessings, along with traditional Kiddush prayers over the bread and wine. These meaningful words are presented in a way that allows each family to personalize and make them their own, creating a lasting and intentional Sabbath practice.

Designed for family discipleship, faith-based homeschooling, and Sabbath-centered living, this book also includes thoughtful discussion questions, practical ideas for celebrating Shabbat, and a heartfelt family blessing. Shabbat Blessings equips parents and children alike to move beyond simply learning about the Sabbath to living it with understanding, joy, and faithful obedience.

Perfect for children ages 4-10, this faith-filled resource helps families embrace the beauty of honoring the Creator's appointed times and cultivating a home centered on rest, relationship, and reverence.
