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. T his 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. Partners with God is filled with the gentle wisdom of Judaism, beautifully presented and lovingly taught. -- Rabbi David Wolpe, author of Healer of Shattered Hearts and Teaching Our Children About God For children, seeing is believing. The formidable task parents face in talking to children about God is that of describing a power without visible shape or form. Gevirtz tackles this task admirably, boiling profound theological concepts down to concrete situations and familiar contexts. Gevirtz challenges young readers to find God in their own lives...the reactions of 600 children around the country to early chapters of the manuscript shaped this thoughtful book, which parents can also use as a guide to a complex subject. -- Publishers Weekly
