Lights in the Night: A Story for Shabbat

“A brief, poetic meditation on Shabbat . . . perfect for introducing children to the weekly serenity that is cen­tral to Jewish life.” —Jewish Book Council

As the sun goes down on a Friday evening and darkness descends, different sources of light welcome in the Sabbath: candles, lanterns, the moon and stars, fireflies, nightlights and then the next morning, the sunrise.

Told in gently rhythmic rhyming couplets and beautifully illustrated throughout, this is an enchanting exploration of light and dark, and a journey through the various rituals and delights of Shabbat.

“This charming book portrays a family celebrating a quiet, yet beautiful seaside Shabbat . . . a gentle rhyming story of getting ready for Shabbat.” —Jewish Books for Kids . . . and More!

“Shabbat is both a time apart from the normal world and a chance to enjoy its wonders uninterrupted by ordinary demands. Barash and Shleifer have captured this paradox per­fectly for children and their families.” —Jewish Book Council
