A collection of popular and beloved holiday poems, written by our best children’s song writers, accompanying us in the circle of the year: Shabbat, birthday, holidays and seasons. A nostalgic treasure that will touch the hearts of both parents and children.
Dear Parents,
"You have planted tunes in me, my mother and father…"
(Fania Bergstein)
We become familiar with holiday songs from an early age; they are etched into our souls, and are passed from one generation to the next. Songs give holidays their special flavor, enhancing it with words, symbols, and sounds, becoming an integral part of our yearly calendar.
Many of the songs contained in this book were written years ago by intellectuals and educators who put in time and effort to create a vibrant Hebrew culture for local children. Some of these songs will put a nostalgic smile on Israeli-born readers' faces; for others, who were not raised here, this book serves as a wonderful opportunity to familiarize themselves with the Israeli soundtrack.
Enjoy reading and discussing the book together!
