A Valuable Lesson to Learn...:
Come, Let Us Welcome Shabbat should be a mandatory primer for Jewish parents trying to teach their children the true meaning of their faith. This book lays out the Sabbath meal, traditions, prayers, and conduct in a simple and straight foward matter. The illustrations are pleasing to the eye and make the book more than a small bit beautiful. This would also make an excellent book for teachers trying to help their students understand the foundations of Judaic life.
