Words From My Heart: the hands-on Jewish Prayer Book

Book Synopsis: “Words From My Heart, the hands-on Jewish Prayer Book” is a unique book with an interactive approach to spirituality and Jewish prayer for children. It's a hands-on, scrapbook-style book that includes activities, games, songs, Hebrew words, Jewish prayers, and access to stories and videos through QR codes.

The book follows the Words From My Heart (WFMH) approach, created by Evelyn “Ms. Eve” Goldfinger, that helps participants to immerse themselves in spirituality and Tefillah (Jewish prayer) through four core prayer-concepts: four of the central concepts in Jewish prayer: Todah (thank you/ gratitude), B'vakashah (please/ asking for help), S'lichah (sorry/ repairing our mistakes), and Halleluyah (wow/ exclaiming praise and awe).

With 40 beautifully crafted pages with vibrant colors, this book invites kids, families, and schools to explore the world of prayer, soulfulness, and God (G*d) in a language that is accessible and inspiring. It also empowers children, and their parents and teachers, to find the words in their hearts and to create their own prayers.

“I hope that the words from my heart reach you and your family, and that the words in your heart elevate us all.” Evelyn
