Teaching Your Children About God is a book that reaches out to those who yearn to offer their children something more than the mere material, who know that a good life and a good person derive as much from the growth of the spirit as from the world's more tangible gifts.Because many of today's parents were raised with no formal religious training, they know little of the texts and rituals. Sensing their own neediness yet wanting to nurture their children's spirituality, they search their hearts and memories only to come up empty-handed. Now, for all these parents, Rabbi Wolpe offers a pathway into the tradition. In clear and welcoming language, he explains the important themes in Judaism and shows the many ways the religion can be passed on. Instructive and reassuring, his words offer invaluable insights into children's spiritual needs, enabling a parent to see again as a child, to understand children's fears, dreams, and hopes.
