 Here Is the World
is a joyous celebration of the Jewish holidays throughout the year for young children. Beginning with the weekly observance of Shabbat, readers join a family through the holidays and the corresponding seasons. From sounding the shofar on Rosh Hashanah to lighting the menorah for Chanukah to rattling a grogger for Purim, and on through the Jewish year, the joy and significance of each holiday beautifully come to life. Spinning with joy at the wonder of you! In addition to the narrative text, there is a description of each holiday in the back matter along with an easy craft or recipe.
