From a book by Barbara
Feltquate and illustrated by Tom Post.
To order this book and learn more about it, please visit the
Kiddish Yiddish website.
From Bagel to Shalom, this
children's glossary of Jewish words in rhyme follows three
generations of a family through a year of holidays, rituals and
traditions. Poems and illustrations tell stories in the loving way
grandparents share memories with their offspring, while encouraging
further discussion about the rich contribution of Hebrew and Yiddish
to our language and society. Ideal for parents, grandparents,
teachers and librarians that take pleasure in reading with children
and exploring the ABCs of Jewish culture in an evocative, fun-filled
way. |

The Museum of Family History
welcomes Ms. Feltquate's book and offers it to you for use via the
Internet. Feel free to view this book here online either by yourself
or with a child or grandchild. Recite each rhyme aloud or in unison;
use this opportunity to tell your family members of the younger
generation about your Jewish life, about how you might have honored
the Jewish traditions within your own family and how you and your
siblings and parents and grandparents celebrated the holidays. Using
the book in this way is a great way to stimulate conversation and
enhance the intergenerational communication between your family
members.
