Let Your Fingers Do the Mitzvas
by Bracha Goetz
Published by Judaica Press, 2010
Let Your Fingers Do the Mitzvos
is a new book for little children that is full of tremendous
potential. It enables children to actually experience the joy of
doing mitzvos
while
the book is being read. The two dimensional children in the book's
illustrations transform into three dimensional finger “puppets”
when children put their fingers through the holes on each page –
and act out each mitzva!
As we watch, our children themselves give life, not only to the
cardboard boys and girls in the book – but also to the
mitzvos
they pretend to perform. Let
Your Fingers Do the Mitzvos
is ideal for children coming from observant families where they get
to see these mitzvos
actualized, and it is also
an engaging gift to give to a young Jewish child who does not
ordinarily have the opportunity to experience all these customary
mitzvos.
Children love to pretend, and with this book, they can get a real taste of the
pleasure that is possible in doing mitzvos such as walking in Eretz
Yisroel, dancing on Simchas Torah, baking challah, giving tzedakah –
and even expressing gratitude to a parent with a great big hug.
Their little fingers, stuck through the holes of this sturdy and
colorful board book become either arms or legs, depending upon what's
needed to take part in each mitza!
Let Your Fingers Do the Mitzvos
will
be enjoyed again and again by young children who can fully delight in
this interactive and novel book. It can be found in local Jewish
bookstores and online at Judaicapress.com.
