Pilot tested with over 600 children throughout North America An editorial committee of distinguished rabbis, scholars, and educators guided every stage of the program's development Editorial Committee Rabbi Jules Harlow, Chair; Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, Rabbi Morrison D. Bial, Rabbi Eugene B. Borowitz, Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin, Rabbi William Cutter, Dr. Tikva Frymer-Kensky, Rabbi Arthur Green, Dr. Barry Holtz, Rabbi Joy Levitt, Rabbi David Wolpe Children have profound questions about God, but teachers and parents may find it difficult to talk about this most intangible and personal of subjects. As a result, an awareness of God is often missing from the religious school. This groundbreaking book is what teachers and parents have been waiting for: a clear and comfortable way to introduce Jewish concepts of God to children. With stories from our tradition, modern photographs, vibrant illustrations, and inventive activities, children explore ideas of God and holiness and discover a Jewish vocabulary for thinking and talking about God. Among other things, children will learn: We cannot know what God looks like, but we can see the things God creates We are all made in God's image Life is a miracle, and all life is holy Our souls connect us to each other and to God. Partners with God prepares children for a personal sense of holiness and a life rooted in Jewish spirituality. Softcover Edition Teacher's Edition The collective expertise of nine rabbis and educators, each contributing a unique pedagogic perspective, makes this guide an extraordinary resource.
