Reading Guide 
"Gloriously beautiful and tender." --Kirkus Starred Review
In this unusual retelling, the biblical story of creation is told from Eve's perspective and explores what it might have been like emotionally for the world's first two people to experience everything for the very first time--seeing and naming the animals; feeling the rain; fearing the night; becoming excited by the stars, and having faith that they are not alone.Lush illustrations bring the wonder of the new world to life, while children will enjoy looking for the recurring cat and dog characters throughout the story.
The story stops well before the infamous apple-eating scene, focusing instead on themes of curiosity, discovery, new experiences, handling fear, and having faith. Author's note further explores the nature of faith for young children.
"Kimmelman employs soaring highly descriptive language imbued with gentle humor, imagination, wonder, and awe, brought to vivid life by Avgustinovich's lush artwork." --Kirkus Reviews
These classic study guides form the core of successful bar and bat mitzvah preparation.
Each study guide starts with blessings for studying and reading Torah, followed by an overview of the parashah. The text of each Torah portion is provided in vocalized Hebrew and English as well as unvocalized Hebrew to prepare for the reading from the Torah scroll itself, along with the commentary on the portion by Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut. This is followed by a summary of the themes from the parashah by Rabbi Harvey Fields, along with questions for study and discussion, all of which will help the student with d’var Torah, or sermon. The haftarah portion, in Hebrew and English is also provided.
The “Torah in Action” feature suggests mitzvah projects related to the specific parashah.
