Fresh approach to a familiar story

Rabbi Deborah Bodin Cohen, whom I have had the pleasure of meeting on several occasions over the past four years, has managed to bring a story of biblical proportions down to size for the young set. The Genesis story of creation is told in simple, yet energetic terms, which will hold the attention of any child old enough to show an interest in books. A must-have for any parent who wants to acquaint his or her child with the basic stories of the Bible.

We are proud of Rabbi Debbie Cohen for her new book!

As vice president of education for Temple Emanuel in Cherry Hill, NJ, it has been a real pleasure and honor for me to work closely with Rabbi Debbie Cohen, our director of lifelong learning as she leads our religious school and adult education activities. We are especially proud of the publication of her first book, The Seventh Day, and we hope that her joy and enthusiasm for teaching our children about Shabbat will reach many readers, young and old.
