In this handsome, new book, Gilda Berger retells the biblical stories behind eight of the most loved Jewish holidays, including the weekly Shabbat. My family welcomes every reason to celebrate. . . . The Binding of Isaac. Scripture references for Berger's careful adaptations are given at the end of each story.
Timelines also help young readers locate the historical origin of the holidays.
She writes in a style that suggests warm family experiences and obviously wants many other families to feel the richness of their faith.
