For Rabbi Sacks zt”, the primary institution of education in the life of a Jewish child is the family. The Ceremony & Celebration Family Edition is a resource for parents, families, and educators to enhance intergenerational conversations surrounding the Jewish festivals. For each festival there is a rich array of ideas written by Rabbi Sacks and adapted for families to discuss around their table on the festival or in preparation for it. Educational elements featured include the hag in a nutshell, a deep dive into the tefillot of the day, engaging stories, fun facts, quizzes, and reflection questions for discussion as a family.

In the words of Rabbi Sacks: We hope you’ll find this a useful resource to engage in a meaningful conversation about our Torah with our children and the next generation. Participating in that con- versation, and encouraging your children to participate with you, is a major part of what it is to be a Jew, because we are the people who never stopped learning the Book of Life, our most precious gift from the God of Life. There is nothing more beautiful or life affirming than learning Torah with your children. Give them the space not only to be your students, but also to be your teachers, and they will grow tall. That’s how we can truly secure the Jewish future.
