SuitabookJewish Values from ALef to Tav
Joel Lurie Grishaver
- Reading
- Read an entry at a time, pausing to unpack unfamiliar Hebrew terms and compare the story with the value it illustrates. The alphabet structure also allows you to choose topics selectively.
- Themes
- Values through stories: Each alphabet entry explains a Jewish value or concept and is illustrated with a story, with examples including respect, helping others and making peace. The structure uses stories to make religious and ethical concepts concrete; the listed values connect teachings with conduct.
- Worth knowing
- The entries present faith-based teachings, including beliefs about God, Torah, commandments and Israel. This may be worth noting if you want to frame religious perspectives alongside your family’s own.
