I think listening skills are especially important here...children pick up on whether they're being appreciated, and the whole relationship depends on it. A rabbi who is slow to criticize will go a long way in making the children feel comfortable being part of the community. Best of luck!

My husband gave a short Dvar Torah and I spoke about the person who she had been named after. At the first one, my father also spoke briefly about my grandmother (who we named for) because my memories were than of an 8 year old, he knew her into adulthood. We did ours in our home, buffet style, open house type thing. We have friends who have made it more formal, i.e. a catered event in the shul. It's up to the parents, [...] 155 49 63_[SCJ-PARENTING:7022] Re: Celebration celebrating a girl's birth27_Dr. Shlomo Argamon Engelson29_argamon@sunlight.cs.biu.ac.il29_Thu, 20 Feb 2003 11:50:04 EST570_-

MAZAL TOV!

The ceremony (in Hebrew) we used for our girls after they were born is at http://www.ir.iit.edu/~argamon/zeved - feel free to use as much or as little as you like (though I'd very much like for this to catch on). Just please give credit for the songs in printed material, if you don't mind. [...] 205 96 37_[SCJ-PARENTING:7025] Israel materials0_15_BKadden@aol.com29_Sat, 22 Feb 2003 00:50:21 EST417_-

I am looking for books on Israel for the pre-school set i.e. picture books and read-alouds and wondered if anyone on the list was familiar with the following titles? If so could you let me know if they appropriate for young children. Additional recommendations are also welcome.

I'm very impressed with this ceremony, including the attention to halachic detail -- even quoting the famous "Rav" Art Scroll. :-)

It's a shame it's not available in English, so more parents here in North America could use it. I was particularly touched by the footwashing, which would be a beautiful honour for any baby, boy or girl.

It's a large 9 x 12 pictorial tour of Isreal. A very good seller.

We have a website www.judaicaforkids.com and have some of the books you listed from this publisher. Here's the information you requested. I hope it's helpful. (Sorry for the "shameless" plug, but if I didn't have the website, I probably wouldn't have known anything about these books!)
