Now there's an easy way to bring the magic of Shabbat to your youngest students, from candle-lighting through Havdalah.Introduce young children to the traditions and rituals of Shabbat with this series of eight 4-page full-color folders. Children learn the whys, whens, and hows of Shabbat observance through age-appropriate poetry, vivid photographs and artwork, and engaging stories, activities, and games. And they go beyond the ritual, exploring the the meaning of Shabbat as a time of rest and reflection, as holy time in the Jewish calendar. Activities such as "Time to Get Ready" and the "Oneg Shabbat Game" introduce young learners to Shabbat practice, while stories such as "Shabbat: A Gift Every Week" and "Shabbat Spice" explore how these practices can bring personal meaning to each of us, no matter what our age.
