Description

The kids' companion to the award-winning Putting God on the Guest List, 3rd Ed.: How to Reclaim the Spiritual Meaning of Your Child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah Used as an inspiring part of bar/bat mitzvah preparation for parents in hundreds of congregations around the world. Jewish youngsters and their parents need to turn inward at bar and bat mitzvah time and ask themselves these hard questions: "Why are we doing this? What does it all mean?" At last, a guide especially for kids, to help them spiritually prepare for their bar/bat mitzvah. Explains the core spiritual values of Judaism to young people in a language they can understand. Questions at the end of each chapter engage kids and let them offer their own thoughts. A special section helps parents and kids find places to perform acts of tzedakah to honor the event-newly revised and updated.

Reviews
"A great resource for kids with every kind of Jewish background, even if you are a kid with two parents who are rabbis-like me!" -Joshua Zecher Ross, Age 13, Bar Mitzvah Parshat Noah 5759 "Reminds our young people that becoming b'nai mitzvah is less about the quality of their performance than about the quality of their lives. It is an important contribution in helping our youth make coming of age a sacred passage." -Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso (Reconstructionist), author of In God's Name, God's Paintbrush and other books "A sensitive work that will help a young Jew be more aware of God's Presence on the day of bar/bat mitzvah and remain aware of that Presence in the everyday experiences of life that follow." -Rabbi William H. Lebeau (Conservative), vice chancellor, dean of the rabbinical school, the Jewish Theological Seminary "We've used Putting God on the Guest List in our b'nai mitzvah program for many years. I've always wished for a companion book that could talk to the kids themselves. This is the book I've been waiting for!" -Rabbi Laura Geller (Reform),Temple Emanuel, Beverly Hills, CA "Hey kids-between learning your portion and writing your speech, read this book. Then you will have a bar or bat mitzvah to remember!" -Dr. Ron Wolfson, author of God's To-Do List: 103 Ways to Be an Angel and Do God's Work on Earth; Fingerhut Professor of Education, University of Judaism, Los Angeles "This wonderful book has the capacity to inspire and transform tens of thousands of bar and bat mitzvahs, and they in turn will inspire and transform future Jewish life in America." -Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, author of Words That Hurt, Words That Heal "Does it for kids! Provides lots of powerful answers to their real questions." -Joel Lurie Grishaver, author of Shema Is for Real, and editor of Hanukkah: The Family Guide to Spiritual Celebration

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
