This book successfully incorporates Jewish culture with American culture for hands on activities--Not necessarily a bad thing, especially if you're a Jewish American. Good ideas for keeping younger boys (girls) busy when out of school for the Holydays. This book is not meant to teach Torah or deep spiritual significance of the Holydays--It is just a good activity idea book, nothing more, nothing less. My kids had fun with it!
wonderful fun
It was alright, however most of the games in this book I could think of on my own. It really isn't worth the money but it was ok to have them all together in a book. I say Go to the library!
The basic issue here is that the authors attempt to "sell" Judaism to young people by superficially (and in the tackiest of ways) stamping Jewish symbols on Americanized games. This practice is most commonly used today by Jewish Americans to make Hannukah (a minor Jewish holiday) as much like Christmas as possible so that American Jewish children do not abandon their "faith" to join the crowd. The effect, of course, is to mutate any legitimacy and honesty in a child's experimentation with the Jewish faith. It is not that far removed from Pokemon. The cover of the book says it all. Don't bother opening it.
