A is for Abraham

From Abraham to Zayde, and from ancient times to modern day, A is for Abraham: A Jewish Family Alphabetencompasses the history of Jewish traditions and customs and how they are still popularly practiced today.

Following the alphabet, a poem identifies the letter topic while sidebar text provides background information.

C could be the challah that my bubbe used to braid,

or C could be the chicken soup, when I was sick she made,

or chocolate coins on Chanukah we added to our coffers.

But I say C should be for chai, to “life” and all it offers.

This joyful celebration of family and heritage includes the meaning behind celebrations such as the Festival of Lights, Passover, and Sukkot; important names and stories from the Old Testament; and how modern-day families continue to celebrate their heritage.
