How do you instill a positive, vital sense of identity, religion, and heritage without turning off your kids or overwhelming them?

Filled with delightful and inspiring anecdotes, thoughtful information about the history, holidays, and traditions that shape Judaism, as well as a useful glossary and thorough reference section
