Is Chicken Soup Jewish?
Questions and Answers for Jewish Kids
This is a book Jewish kids need to read. Jewish kids are bound to have friends who are not Jewish or Jewish friends who want to know more about Judaism. Sometimes their friends might ask some questions about Jewish life. For example, they might want to know about the Jewish holidays, or understand how their religion is different. Maybe they had some chicken soup and want to know if there really is a Jewish connection.
When Jewish kids show their friends a book with Hebrew writing, their friends might want to know why the letters look strange or even funny. But just because kids are Jewish doesn’t mean they know all the answers – yet.
So, to help Jewish kids enhance their knowledge about Judaism, Rabbi Rafael Grossman wrote this book with answers to more than 180 questions that kids had asked him. While some of the questions might seem basic to the Jewish way of life, these are questions that Jewish kids need to be ready to answer.
