Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Thank You, God!: A Jewish Child's Book of Prayers (Shabbat) Comment: Nice, easy to follow book for young children. All prayers are in English and Hebrew. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Book Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Outstanding book for teaching Jewish children prayer Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Just what I was looking for - almost Comment: My husband was raised observant. I still have trouble with reading Hebrew and I wanted a book to help me with some morning and evening rituals. My one complaint is that they should have used the extended version of the Shema Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful Comment: 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 More Reviews
