When our first child was five, she asked us for her very own prayer book. This was the one we chose, and it has been wonderful both for her and her brother.The book is only 25 pages, but it is filled with the most important prayers in the Jewish liturgy, beginning, after the prayer thanking God for a good night's sleep, with the Shema, the watchwords of the Jewish faith. As the English text explains, "Every morning and every night when we say the Shema, we are saying 'God is everywhere and God is One'."These pages also include the beginning of the Veyahavta, which states, "We will love God with all our hearts, with all our souls and with all our might."There are prayers for before and after meals, for lighting the Shabbat candles and blessing the Sabbath wine, and for saying good bye to Shabbat with the Havdalah blessings, with which the Jewish people welcome a new week.The book also includes the most important blessings for four of the major holidays, Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Chanukah.Children are also introduced to prayers in thanks for nature, for trees, prayers for good health, prayers for escaping from danger or good health, for peace, and to remember those who have died. The book ends with the traditional Jewish benediction, which I noticed at a Catholic service some years ago, is also a Christian tradition--"May God bless you and keep you.May God watch over you in kindness.May God grant you a life of good health, joy and peace."--Alyssa A. Lappen
When our daughter began attending a Jewish day school, the panic set in. What would I do when my child came home from school on Friday night expecting to have Shabbat? The chicken I could cook, but the prayer over the candles? I got on and ordered everything Judaic I could find. This little book was about half-way through the pile of books and DVDs I'd ordered and I wish it had been the first. The book is small, beautifully illustrated, and serves like a Jewish "Top Ten" list of prayers. It includes prayers written in Hebrew characters, transliteration, and English translations. Perfect! Included for each prayer is a brief (1 or 2 sentence) explaination of what the prayer is for and when it is or is not said. Genius!
THANK YOU, GOD! An outstanding book for jewish children to learn that prayer is a part of jewish life. It is a book that every parent or grandparent should put into the child's library.
We are not Jewish but I've been seeking good books written for Jewish children because of the beautiful and non-evangelical tone to them (I was raised in the Bible Belt, Texas, and had enough of that for one lifetime). This book has simple prayers and beautiful watercolor paintings and is perfect for children and for use in my own paintings as spiritual messages. My 3 year old even appreciates it! :)
I bought this book thinking it would have the daily blessings in it. It doesn't. But what it does have are beautiful illustrations and a wonderful collection of blessings for meals, for experiences, for holidays, etc. It's a wonderful addition to my son's library.
Thank You, God!: A Jewish Child's Book of Prayers (Shabbat) I purchased this book for my daughter when she was around 3 years old and she woke up every morning and went to bed every evening with the book - she just loved it. She is now in college and wanted to bring the book with her as a memory from home. When we couldn't locate it I purchased it again for her to take to school. I don't think you can have a better review than that for a book. One that took her through her young childhood and had such an impact on her she remembered it and wanted it with her at college.
This beautifully illustrated book contains more than a dozen Jewish prayers for a variety of special occasions. The prayers are printed in Hebrew, phonetics, and English. It is an excellent resource for adults and children alike.
Noticed some discrepancies in the English wording of the prayers in comparison to the Hebrew corresponding to it. That is why I gave it 4 stars. Love that the Hebrew is spelled out phonetically for English speakers. It is a great compliation of prayers for children. Almost all you need in one place. Great watercolor illustrations as well.Shalom
