Shabbat	Soft-toned watercolors show a happy traditional family observing Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath. They prepare for the special Friday night meal, welcome grandparents, light the candles, say the prayers, and enjoy the traditional meal; they attend synagogue on Saturday and mark the Sabbath's end at night with a blessing for the coming week. In a simple rhyming text, one of the children describes the traditions, and she quotes and explains some of the blessings ("Hamotzi is the prayer we say before we eat the bread"). She enjoys the synagogue service ("I know a lot of prayers by heart because we come each week") as much as the observance at home. A long, useful note at the back fills in the details for adults and will be helpful in discussing the meaning of each part of the observance. A fine first book for family sharing. from Booklist
