Book Reviews of How to Be a Jewish Parent: A Practical Handbook for Family Life
Book Review: you get more than you bargin for with this book !
Summary: 5 Stars
i bought this book hoping to gain some insight into things i can do to make our household more 'jewish' and ways to guide our new baby to a life of 'jewishness' that we didn't have until we had her.
i thought this book would at least give me some ideas...and it does this plus so much more.
i have actually learned tons from just reading the first few chapters (with new baby -not alot of time for reading)...things that i never learned in my childhood about jewish traditions and prayers and holidays.
i even impressed my brother who married into an orthodox family when i recited the prayer for 'firsts' when he was with us when the baby saw her first snow.
i really feel much more confident that i can teach my daughter some valuable lessons that i hope will become a part of her life that will always be with her.
i recommend this book to those of us who just never got the 'jewish stuff' from our growing up and want to give their kids more than just bagels and lox.
it also gives us tools for answering so many of the questions that jewish kids will ask their parents, and i firmly believe that the way we answer these questions will make a difference in our kids level of commitment to their jewish heritage.
