The Complete Family Guide to Jewish Holidays	Not truly a dictionary, this is really an alphabet book introducing the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Each letter is given a double - page spread, divided into 12 blocks that show the letter and individual pictures of words that begin with that letter. The word appears in Hebrew with the phonetic Sephardic pronunciation and the English translation. The words are all everyday objects familiar to the child. The illustrations are in full bright colors, in a bold style reminiscent of Brian Wildsmith. This is a beautiful book that will enhance juvenile foreign language collections. Description from School Library Journal
What the Moon Brought By Sadie R. Weilerstein	The 17 stories in this 1968 book feature Ruth and Debbie--two sisters who were not quite twins, and both had pointy chins, from always looking up at the moon. Once a month, their mother let them stay up to look at the new moon that was like a silver cradle. Sometimes it sailed out of a cloud, rose from behind tall buildings or peeked from behind the branches of a tree. And once it rose out of the sea. But wherever the new moon came from, it brought the Jewish holidays, and the sisters greeted it with "Shalom Aleichem!" (Peace welcome!) Description from Amazon.com Customer Review

Adler	Highlights the Sabbath, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Simhat Torah, Hanukkah, Tu Bi-Shevat, Purim, Passover, Yom ha-Azma'ut, Shavuot, Tishah be-Av, and other Jewish holidays. Description from Publisher Beginning with the a Jewish calendar which is based on the moon, and comparing it to the Julian calendar, readers understand why the dates of Jewish holidays can vary so much each year. That said, the book begins with the Sabbath and Rosh Hashanah and ends with Tishah Be-Av. It also mentions six other holidays and includes a glossary. The book is light on facts as the author notes in the opening, but filled with the feeling and emotions that these holidays evoke. The soft pen and ink illustrations with watercolor washes convey scenes of families celebrating. Description from Children's Literature
The Glass Menorah And Other Stories for Jewish Holidays	The Berg family and their favorite neighbor, Mr. Yomtov, observe the annual cycle of Jewish holidays in this collection of appealing stories. Each brief tale incorporates the customs and meaning of a particular holiday. Rich with caring relationships, the uncomplicated plots pivot on just enough tension or suspense to intrigue young readers and listeners. In one story, 10-year-old Abby is crying because she's locked herself out of her house and can't retrieve the apples she needs for her class's Simchat Torah celebration. Mr. Yomtov comes to the rescue by walking Abby to an apple tree in a nearby meadow. Mr. Yomtov saves the day again in the title story when the Bergs' cat knocks over the new glass menorah Uncle Mark sent from Israel. Mr. Berg glues the pieces back together again, and Mr. Yomtov paints grapevines and fruit, camouflaging the scars and restoring the menorah's beauty. The unpretentiously informative, warm, and gently touching stories are independently pleasing. Description from Booklist

For 13 different holidays and festivals, there is a story about David and Ilana and their parents - a story focusing on the spiritual value embodied in each holiday. Being afraid of the dark, taking a walk in the woods with Grandpa, arguments between David and Ilana, sharing family photos, helping the community; all become opportunities for learning about how holidays' meanings are related to our daily life. Each story concludes with a special prayer, a blessing that child and adult can share to bring the spiritual meaning of the holiday into their own lives.

Jewish Artwork by Esky: Shabbat and Jewish Holidays (Vol. 1)	There exists today a seriously unfulfilled need for creative tools in Jewish Education, particularly for well made and effective illustrations of Chinuch objects and concepts. We are grateful to Mrs. Esky Cook for her devoted efforts to meet this need. Blessed by Hashem with quite extraordinary talent, she has dedicated this gift to the service of Hashem and the educational needs of the Jewish people. This devotion and these efforts have produced a series of books that depict Mitzvos and Midos Tovos in vivid and eye catching illustrations that will surely be of benefit to teachers and parents alike in the elevation of students and children of all ages. It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I recommend this series of reproducible artwork by the supremely talented Esky Cook. Esky has completed the monumental task of culling an exhaustive collection of wonderful clip-art, reflecting pure Torah values and child pleasing charm. The response of teachers, students and parents to this series is sure to be uniformly enthusiastic with people clamoring for more. All of us who are dedicated to providing our children with the finest learning materials possible to enhance their love of Limudei Kodesh and Midos Tovos are deeply in her debt.
