A is for Abraham
A Jewish Family Alphabet
by Richard Michelson
$17.95 h/c"A
is for Abraham, father of Jews (father of Muslims, and all Christians, too).
His wife's name was Sarah, and when angels blessed her, she too became our
common ancestor......
.....Z is for Zayde
whose bedtime like mine is eight o'clock each night (on holidays, nine). He
reads me a story. One more, I beg, please. But by now he's snoring his loud
Zayde ZZZZZzzzzz...."
From Abraham
to Zaydee and from ancient
times to modern day, A is for Abraham encompasses the history of
Jewish traditions and customs and how they are practiced today. An
informative poem accompanies each letter in the alphabet for young readers.
Side bars on each page provide in depth background information for older
children or for reference throughout the year. |
