Wednesday, April 5 is the start of Passover, the Jewish holiday that commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The significance of the holiday is to remember the struggle for freedom and to honor the value of standing up against oppression. It is a time to reflect on the importance of liberty and to consider those who are still fighting for their own freedom.
Teaching children the meaning of Passover is an important aspect of the holiday, which can be done through storytelling. You can also involve children in the Passover seder, where they can participate in the retelling of the story and ask questions. Encourage children to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions about the holiday.
To help, we’ve highlighted a selection of books in our collection that discuss the meaning of Passover that children can relate to. Between silly circumstances and serious situations, these books touch on different aspects of Passover.
And from all of us at the Edison Public Library, chag Pesach kasher vesame’ach. |
