A tactile experience and a demonstration to help children understand the Yom Kippur wish that each person "be sealed in the book of life" from the Bible Belt Balabusta.
"A seal demonstration gives kids a concrete grasp of at least one part of the spectacularly abstract concept of a supernatural Book of Life. Otherwise, “seal” is only what we do to Ziploc bags, or is the name of a whiskered, semi-aquatic marine mammal. Plenty of my younger students have never even licked an envelope: they don’t know from sealing letters because they don’t do snail mail."
