I teach a Judaic class for fourth graders. This book explained the meaning of Kol Nidre in a serious albeit touching story. A very good book.

A child tells of going to Kol Nidre service for the first time with his grandfather, who speaks of the ancient prayer's magic.This most solemn prayer of the year is sung three times--asking forgiveness for promises made to God which could not be kept during the preceeding year.Years later, the child holds his own infant as Kol Nidre is sung, dusting her nose with his Tzistit, the fringe of his prayer shawl, and still failing to grasp the meaning of the magic his grandfather told of.Still later, an old man himself, with a 6-year-old grandson at his side, the magic finally comes into full focus: It is the people, who come to Kol Nidre, knowing and not knowing the significance of this mystical prayer. He can now explain the magic it has taken an entire lifetime for him to comprehend.But there is more to the secret. If you want to know, buy this book, and share the magic with your children. It will make you cry tears of joy. Alyssa A. Lappen

Beautifully written and illustrated story about one of the more mystical aspects of Yom Kippur. The illustrations are gorgeous and the story is accessible at multiple age levels. Recommended for kids and adults alike.
