ISRAEL AT 60 - Israel is our Jewish Home: Integrating Israel at Home with Young Children
by Maxine Handelman
Jewish children need to be drawn into a relationship with Israel. Using books, stories, pictures, food and other strategies, parents can do so much to help flesh out each child's imagination of Israel, so that each child begins to form a connection to and love for this home so far away. Included is a short list of books appropriate for children 1 - 6.
