"We have incorporated Let's Discover God, Partners With God, and Living as Partners With God into grades 2, 3, and 4. These materials give us the opportunity to begin a dialogue about God with our students. It's one thing to feel it in your heart, but you need to be able to talk about it, too. Barbara Bernstein Education Director Congregation Beth Shalom Naperville, IL How can young children begin to explore basic concepts about God--our Covenant with God, how and why we perform mitzvot, how we talk to God, and how we can act in God's image? In these eight 4-page folders, simple poems, full-color photographs, inventive activities, and discussion questions vividly bring to life the wonder and variety of God's world. At the same time, children learn the basic prayers and blessings we recite to communicate with God in our everyday life, including the Motzi, Sh'ma, Sheheheyanu, Modeh Ani, and the blessing over Shabbat candles.
