ZSIDONGO BOOKS
SERIES OF FAMILY BOOKS ABOUT JUDAISM

My name is Linda Ban Vero, I am working for the Hillel Foundation, Budapest. I've been working on informal Jewish education for several years, partly as the rebbetzen of the Frankel Leo street Synagogue. During my work I felt a strong need for having educational materials for young families about the Jewish traditions. It is a very challenging to introduce Judaism on such a way that not religious families will be able to talk about Judaism to their children as "we" - and not as "they".

Sample pages:

"I did not write this book to answer the question in the title myself.

Countless parents have difficulty talking to children about Judaism, because they are full of unanswered questions themselves. In most families, this is further complicated by the presence of multiple religious traditions. Children’s curious questions about God, faith and religion are an added challenge for parents.

With this book, I would like to create opportunities for all members of the family — grandparents, parents, step-parents and children, Jews and non-Jews, believers and non-believers alike — to talk to each other openly and honestly about Judaism, without taboos, expectations or prescribed answers.

My approach will generally only be acceptable for those with a liberal attitude to Judaism; therefore I recommend this book primarily for readers of such disposition."
