Title: Bubbe's Belated Bat Mitzvah

Author: Isabel Pinson

Narrator: Book Buddy Digital Media

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-14-17

Publisher: Lerner Publishing Group

Publisher's Summary:

When Naomi convinces her 95-year-old great-grandmother that it's not too late to become a Bat Mitzvah, all the cousins pitch in to help Bubbe celebrate her big day. While usually it's the grandmother that teaches the child, in this story the tables are turned and Naomi realizes that she has something very special to teach her great-grandmother.

Members Reviews:

This is a charming tale of Naomi, a young girl who knew just how to make dreams come true ...

Bubbe sat on the couch as her granddaughter Naomi watched her crochet yet another kippot. Undoubtedly her great-grandmother had made a "gazillion" of those things. Naomi held a hook and a strand of blue yarn in her hands because she too was going to learn to crochet. Bubbe had made her first kippot for her brother Charlie to wear at his Bar Mitzvah, but there were many more to come. "Did you make a kippot for your own Bat Mitzvah?" Naomi asked her Bubbe. Oh, no because girls didn't learn to read Hebrew way back when.

Naomi nestled in her bed that night and dreamed that Bubbe was "standing on the bimah reading from the Torah." Her lips moved as her pointer moved across the words, but it was only a dream. No, girls didn't learn to read Hebrew back then. Grandma Rachel didn't read from the Torah, but did give a speech in the synagogue. No, girls didn't learn to read Hebrew back then either, but Naomi had a big idea. Bubbe could read Yiddish so maybe, just maybe there was a chance the she could have a Bat Mitzvah. Would Naomi be able to turn that dream into a reality?

This is a charming tale of Naomi, a young girl who really knew how to dream. The tale, based in part on the real story of the author's grandmother, Esther, is quite inspirational. The flow of the tale will generate excitement in young readers, making them hope that Bubbe will be able to actually stand at the bimah and read from the Torah. I definitely like the group effort that Bubbe's great-grandchildren make to enable Bubbe to do just that. It's especially nice that Naomi's part is none other than that of crocheting kippot. A lovely tale that multiple generations will enjoy and learn from..

Sweet Story

This is a sweet story of a 95-year-old woman named Bubbe going through a Bat Mitzvah after being convinced by her great-granddaughter Naomi and spending time studying and preparing for it. Throughout the generations girls were included more and more with Torah reading in Bubbeâs family. When Bubbe was growing up girls didnât study Hebrew and werenât called to read Torah, when Naomiâs grandmother was growing up girls didnât read from the Torah but could give speeches in the synagogue, when Naomiâs mother was growing up girls were allowed to read from the Torah.

This story makes me wish there were more opportunities for others to be bat or bar mitzvahed past their childhood years; I am sure there are more opportunities available for that then I might realize though. I hear people use the word âbimahâ in my congregation a lot, when they are referring to going up to read Torah at the stand at the front of the synagogue; now I can see from reading this book that comes from the Jewish congregational way of life.

Members Reviews:

Good for small children.

Cute book to tell a sweet story in a fun way to help children understand thoughtfulness of gift-giving.

This is the hilarious tale of Esther the purple gorilla and her near disastrous Hanukkah gifts ...

Oh, my! Esther the purple gorilla was in trouble because she forgot all about shopping for Hanukkah. She did have a shopping list prepared, but there wasnât anything on it for her friends. âBananas, bananas, bananas, leaves, bananas.â That would never do because not everyone wanted that sort of thing for Hanukkah. Well, maybe Sarah who was a monkey, but certainly not Hal who was a hyena. No that would never do. Off to the Jungle Store she went to shop for those very special Hanukkah gifts, or so Esther thought they were special. She wheeled her bamboo cart right to the clothing department and began to shop. âWhat unusual socks!â Into the cart they went. Esther rushed thought the store finding Hanukkah gifts that were sure to please.

She smiled, giggled, and laughed out loud as she read â100 Jokes about Elephants,â something that Oscar the elephant would certainly love. After she wrapped her gifts in pretty in pink paper, Esther âlit the shamash candle and said the special blessing.â After the the two candles in her menorah had burned down âit was time for Esther to deliver her presents.â Things began to go terribly wrong. The socks were too big, the sweater a horribly bad, and those elephant jokes were in very bad taste. Was there anything Esther could to to make up for her mistakes?

This is the hilarious tale of Esther the purple gorilla and her near disastrous Hanukkah gifts. Esther had forgotten all about Hanukkah and in her haste to shop, she didnât think about her friendsâ need. The funniest one, of course, was when she handed Oscar that book of elephant jokes. âThere should be a law against elephant jokes.â he declared. The charming twist at the end fortunately gets Esther out of her Hanukkah dilemma. The artwork is bold, colorful, and has just the right touch of zany to please the young reader. In the back of the book is a brief discussion about Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights.

Esther Tries to Turn Her Gift Giving Disaster Around

Esther realizes that Hanukkah is only a day away and she hasn't purchased any gifts for her friends. She spends the day shopping and is excited to pick out gifts that she thinks her friends will love. The next night she lights the shamash candle and uses that to light the first Hanukkah candle on her menorah, then it is time to deliver the presents to her friends. As she delivers them one by one to each of her friends she learns that they are not as excited about the gifts she gives them as she is. Esther, however, is given gifts from her friends that she loves. She feels bad that her gift giving experience was a disaster and thinks up a plan to try to turn things around in a way that will make all of her friends happy.

Esther had a giving heart, although she did not get her friends anything that they liked. This reminds me that I need to get to know my friends better so I can learn what they like and what they don't like.

Five Stars

A brilliant take on the three little pigs.

This is a fun, animated tale of the three little piggies, that big bad wolf, and the hamantaschen young children will love ...

Once upon a time (of course) there were three little piggies living in a brick house in the countryside. It was the month of Adar and Purim was just around the corner. When Rishon looked at the calendar, he declared, âThe Purim carnival is tomorrow!â The three little piggies loved the carnival, but needed to make costumes. Rishon, Sheni, and Shlishi gathered up their âcraft supplies to make crowns for the carnival.â Out came the paper, out came the poster board, and out came the paste for Shlishi. Hmmmm! Why would Shilishi need paste for his crown?

Shilishi was going to make his crown out of papier mache! Rishon and Sheni made their crowns one, two, three quickly and were out playing in the mud while Shilishi was hard at work. There was no time to play for Shilishi because it took him all day to finish up his glorious crown with little fake jewels stuck in the side. The next day the three little piggies put on their crowns and were off to the Purim carnival. There was one other critter in the forest who was thinking of heading off to the carnival and that was none other than that big bad wolf, who was lurking in the trees. âMmmm, I smell hamantaschen,â he thought to himself, âDelicious! Iâll go into town and buy some.â

When the big bad wolf showed up on the town streets, everyone scrambled. They all recognized those beady eyes and that thin mustache and long snout was a giveaway ... that wolf was nothing but trouble! Everyone had âbright and lively costumesâ on, but not that big bad wolf. Ah, ha! If he stole one, no one would recognize him and he could buy that delicious hamantaschen! He spotted Rishon and his paper crown and demanded he hand it over saying, âThen Iâll huff and puff, and Iâll blow your crown off!â No go because the crown blew away. Then he approached Sheni, but crunnnch, it got trampled by some children. Ah, ha! There was Shlishi! Would the big bad wolf be able to get his crown and the hamantaschen?

This is a lively, fun, animated tale of the three little piggies, that big bad wolf, and the hamantaschen young children will love. This retold tale has a great little twist to it and thatâs the fact that the wolf wants to eat some ham. Not piggie ham of course, but delicious hamantaschen, a delicious, sweet pastry served during Purim. Children will laugh when they hear the wolf demanding those crowns and the responses Rishon, Sheni, and Shlishi give him: âNot for all the hamantaschen in town!â The artwork is perfectly rendered with lots of fairy tale-like appeal.

Members Reviews:

chaos in Chelm

Chelm is an imaginary Jewish town populated by fools.

How did this happen? Supposedly an angel had a sack of foolish souls that were to be distributed equally all over the world, but he mistakenly dumped them all on Chelm.

This story is about two tpical Chelmites -- Yankl, a poor teacher, and his wife, Gitele. They come up with a savings plan so that they can have blintzes for Shavuot, but each expects the other to contribute, and since neither of them does, no money is saved. The subsequent balagon (confusion and chaos) leads th local rabbi to create three new commandments just for them.

This plot reminded me of the popular folk story where everyone is supposed to contribute to a community wine collection -- but each person pours water into the barrel, assuming that everyone else is donating wine.

Members Reviews:

Judaism, science and nature - lovely book!

I love that this book shows a slice of life in Israel. This story teaches about science, nature and the Jewish celebration of Rosh Chodesh- my kids enjoyed learning about a tradition that they don't typically hear about in Hebrew school. And the photographs and the family are lovely! This book made me want to go hang out with this sweet family in Israel!

Nice Israel nature scenery

I was hoping for more inspirational (Allison - write another book)

Didn't realize ithis was really a children's book

This is a photographic depiction and explanation of Rosh Chodesh and the phases of the moon for young children ...

The family is driving through the desert, a hilly background behind them, to join their guide Ira. Itâs going to be a very special camping trip where everyone will celebrate and learn about Rosh Chodesh, âthe beginning of a new month in the Jewish calendar.â A young boy and his sister peer out over a deep canyon, but Ima cautions them, âBe careful and donât get too near the edge.â In the afternoon the boy looks through binoculars, but at night there will be a telescope for him to peer into the night sky and see the new moon. As they hike through the desert they are able to see some creatures of the desert, some ibexes.

His sisters, Tali and Aravah, admire the rocks on the desert floor. By mixing water with some of the âpowdery yellow dirt, Avarah is able to make yellow paint. The sun will soon be setting and Ira sits in a folding chair and begins to set up his telescope. âThe moon sets early on Rosh Chodesh,â he explains to the boy, âIf we want to get a good look, we need to hurry.â The sun has begun to set and they can clearly see the moon and its craters that âpock-mark the thin white crescent.â The boy is surprised when he suddenly notices the rest of the moon. The moon is âalways the same size, although sometimes it looks big and round.â On Rosh Chodesh, there is only a sliver, but how and why can that be?

This is a photographic depiction and explanation of Rosh Chodesh and the phases of the moon for young children. The young boy can easily see the new moon, but understanding the phases of it can be a bit daunting. Ira then plays a game so they can easily understands what happens during the phases. This game can easily be reenacted and played in a homeschool or classroom setting with a blowup globe, a model of the moon, and a lantern in a darkened room. The story is illustrated by full color photographs, which make the information about Rosh Chodesh and moon phases easier to understand.

Members Reviews:

An fun and informative book for young children

As a preschool teacher, i was thrilled to find a book about a lesser known Jewish holiday. This book was both informative and fun. The cheerfully illustrated book was entertaining and informative. It is perfect for the preschool aged crowd and younger elementary school. I am looking forward to reading this book to my four year old class.

Awesome illustrations and color.

Great pictures to go with this story. Creative story telling.

This is a fun mystery of a minor Jewish holiday, Lag B'Omer, that children will enjoy solving right along with Ori and Sadie ..

The moon was full, lighting up the way for Grandpa, Sadie, and Ori as they walked down the street hand-in-hand. Sadie glanced up at the moon and wanted to know if it was a holiday. She'd learned lots of interesting things in Hebrew school and knew that "Jewish holidays often begin with a full moon." Passover and Purim were two of the most recent, but what could this special holiday be? No one had said anything about it. There wasn't any holiday on the full moon, but Grandpa declared that "there is a holiday soon after." Ori and Sadie had no clue. "It's a mystery!" Indeed it was and they were going to have to find out about this mysterious holiday.

Ori sat on a stool as Sadie checked out the big calendar over her bookshelf. Mmmmm ... one, two, three days after the full moon there was a funny notation, "Lag Ba'Omer." What could that possibly mean? Yes, "It's a mystery!" Ori and Sadie said again. They began to search their bookshelves for some clues. There were books about Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah, Purim, Passover, and Shavuot, but no Lag Ba'Omer. They knew all about these other holidays because there were special things they celebrated with, including the "shofar their father blew on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur." This was truly a mystery. Would Ori and Sadie find anyone who could help them solve the mystery of Lag Ba'Omer?

This is a fun mystery of a minor Jewish holiday, Lag B'Omer, that children will enjoy solving right along with Ori and Sadie. It's a very interesting mystery that will interest many in learning not only about Lag B'Omer (Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai), but also about other Jewish holidays. They begin their search by asking the UPS man, but get their first real clue when Aunt Katy asks, "Isn't that when you go on picnics?" The artwork is simple, yet lively and seems to express the importance of family life and the role of children during holiday celebrations, even minor ones.
