Of course, with all of the wonderful stories available about celebrating Passover, the traditions and rituals and delicious foods, perhaps the most important story of all is that of the Exodus from Egypt itself. After all, it is this story that is the basis for the holiday and for my people's very freedom. And because of this, it is this story which we are meant to recount every year lest we forget how very lucky we are to have those freedoms! There are many picture books for kids that tell the story of how the Jews came to be enslaved in Egypt and how they eventually were led to freedom. But perhaps the most thorough and visually beautiful that I've seenin recent years is "The Story of Passover" (2014), written by David A. Adler and gorgeously illustrated by Jill Weber. As noted by Publishers Weekly, this book "begins with Jacob's arrival in Egypt and ends with the Israelites' jubilant celebration on the banks of the Red Sea." And the images throughout are STUNNING. Its a beautiful book for school-aged kids. Note: the author doesn't mince words when it comes to the plagues or violence, so if your child is very sensitive you may want to skip this one. However, if you have a kid who revels in excitement, this is definitely the book for them! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #NoodlenutsKidsBooks #JewishNoodlenuts #NoodlenutsPassover #TheStoryofPassover #DavidAAdler #DavidAdler #JillWeber #Passover #Pesach #Slavery #Exodus #RedSea #passover2020 #Pesach #LearningAboutJudaism #learning #montessorichild #learningnewthings #Jewish #JewishBooks #BooksBooksBooks #PictureBook #PictureBookArt https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zyvb1nc9U/?igshid=8f5zinh6ji54
