A Book of icwish Prayer5- Dorothy & Peter Brown Jewish Community Adult Day Care Program invites you to attend LEGAL ISSUES & COMMUNITY RESOURCES A Caring Partners Workshop on Dementia For Family Caregivers RABBI ARNOLD GOODMAN Mindi Silver-Weiss, ACSW and Don Rosenberg, JD us are making appeals to God. In Judaism, we have specific prayers for almost everything, which provide words for what is in our hearts but which we may not know how to express. Consider, for example, the beauty of the Kaddish, which raises our spirits to God in the most painful of times. There are quiet prayers, too, in our own words — conversations we have with God at night, and in moments of despair, fear and gratitude. Prayer is not only for adults. Children also pray, some- times spontaneously, with their own words, and sometimes from Jewish texts that have been with us for generations, uttered by our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents. So why might a child need some- thing like A Child's Book of Jewish Prayers? He won't. Adults often have a silly notion that children need to be spoken to like dolts. And so you end up with texts like these. Here's a prayer the author recom- mends children say on Shavuot: "Dear God ... Mommy says that the best present we can give someone is a big smile and a helping hand. I hope I can give Torah and You this special present every day." Or how about Rabbi Goodman's sug- gestion for a bedtime prayer: "Daddy says You take special care of the souls of people who have been good. I will always try to make sure that my soul stays good by listening to my mommy and daddy." And finally, a prayer for going on a trip: "Daddy says I will have to be good and not fight with my brother and sister, especially when he is driving. I will try to behave myself. My doll and I want to make sure that our trip is fun."
