This book explains the tradition of tashlich, a religious act that many Jewish people do in between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. It explains the process and the meaning behind it through a story about a family continuing their tradition of going into the park and doing their own tashlich tradition. This book also explains that every family's tradition is different, but it doesn't make it any less sacred. This book was a nice story that relates well to the Jewish culture, and explains the significance of one of the most important traditions in Judaism. The illustations also add well to the story, each page filled with vibrant fall colors, with text that blends into the pages, just enough to be seen, but not distract from the images. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A lovely picture-book, one which shows a religious practice in harmony with nature, Tashlich at Turtle Rock was the debut children's title from Reconstructionist Rabbi Susan Schnur and her young daughter, Anna Schnur-Fishman, and is based upon their own family's personal observances of Rosh Hashanah and Tashlich. The latter, a custom in which the previous year's transgressions are symbolically cast off, in the form of bread or other food items, which are thrown into a flowing body of water, is described in the author's afterword as "minimal but powerful," leading her family to invent additional customs to amplify the meaning of the observance. I enjoyed this story, both because it highlights a religious practice in which ecological awareness is incorporated into pre-existing traditions, and because it can provide inspiration for other Jewish families looking to expand their Rosh Hashanah rituals. The illustrations, done by British artist Alex Steele-Morgan, are colorful and appealing. Recommended to anyone looking for Rosh Hashanah stories for young children, especially stories featuring less traditional Jewish families. ( )
