AWE-SOME DAYS Poems about the Jewish Holidays

Marilyn Singer gives a spirited performance of her collection of poems tracing a family's celebrations of all the Jewish holidays throughout the year--both those that are familiar and those that are less so. Each holiday is presented, first, with a playful, sweet, or solemn poem, which Singer delivers in a lively, welcoming voice. Then she expands upon the holiday a bit more, giving context to listeners and explaining ways it is celebrated and how it relates to Jewish values. She begins with the sweetness of Rosh Hashanah and takes listeners all through the year to Tu B'Av, with a quick visit exploring the beauty of Shabbat and Havdalah rituals, too. Families will want to return to this audiobook all year long. E.E.C. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2022]
