Book Reviews of Thank You, God!: A Jewish Child's Book of Prayers (Shabbat)
Book Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
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
