I Am Jewish American
(Our American Family)
By Elizabeth Weitzman
|
Rachel, a young girl living in Chicago, offers her perspective on the
history, beliefs, and life style of her Jewish American community. In
one-page chapters she touches on the reasons her grandmother's family
left Eastern Europe, their journey to America, and their adjustment
to a new land. She introduces topics such as the Sabbath, respect for
learning, traditional foods, and her family's strong emotional and
spiritual ties to Israel. Unfortunately, the author's use of the term
"Wailing Wall" is no longer widely accepted; the preferred
designation among Jews is now "Western Wall." The religious
denomination represented is not identified, but a traditional,
though not necessarily Orthodox, orientation is indicated. An
informative full-color or sepia photograph faces each page of
text. A useful and accessible book for children of all backgrounds.

This could easily be called "my first book of tzedakah." Danny gives
a fanciful twist to this charming read-aloud book colorfully
illustrated by Garth Potts. It's full of day-dreaming and
dragons-animals and ice cream, but most of all, it teaches the
youngest reader about mitzvah-caring.

The Bravest Fireman
|
After young Ari witnesses the fire department's efforts to
squelch the flames in a burning house, he dreams of being
"the bravest and strongest fireman." What makes Ari's
ambitions a bit different from those of many other
children is his Jewish faith; he believes that Hashem
alone can give him the strength to do such an important
and dangerous job. Zytman's brief, suspenseful story
emphasizes the Jewish principle of performing mitzvos,
or acts of service and obligation, for others. Placing this
idea in the context of a common scenario proves an
effective way to define a sophisticated concept for
very young children.
