Special to The AppleTree
As a first-time book reviewer
for The AppleTree, I was given
a very pleasant assignment —
to review Let's Talk About the
Sabbath. This is a book for
young children, 6 years and
up, and is a wonderful inter-
pretation of the Sabbath.
The book is written by
Dorothy K. Kripke, a veteran
children's writer, and beautifully
illustrated in color by Stacy
Crossland and Joy Nelkin
Weider.
The author explains in a
story form whet Shabbat is,
how we welcome Shabbat like
a queen, how a family pre-
pares for the Sabbath and the
joy it brings. She explains
what Oneg Shabbat and Hay-
dala are and relates how we
can honor the Sabbath. The
book is concise but very thor-
ough in relating the impor-
tance of Shabbat and how
Shabbat has kept the Jewish
people.
The author explains about
celebrating Shabbat in the syn-
agogue and reading from the
Torah and how we celebrate a
bar and bat mitzvah.
Let's Talk about the Sabbath
is a wonderful book for young
and old alike, and
should be a welcome
addition to any home
library. This is a joyous
book to be read and re-
. read. I highly recommend
it for every Jewish home.
