Children often need encouragement to appreciate the importance of davening.

In Time for Tefillah, young children notice how often the people they admire stop and take time for Tefillah. As busy as Tatty, Bubby, and Mommy may be, they praise, thank, and ask Hashem for their needs and the wellbeing of the whole family.
These positive examples impact the children, so that they, too, prioritize Tefillah in their lives:

Zayde Mendel is determined to bake shmurah matzah, even though it’s during the World War II and there’s no wheat for sale. His clever and loyal wife, Bubba Hinda, is just as determined. Together, this extraordinary couple proves that “With Hashem’s help, anything is possible!”

This story is based on true events in the lives of Zayde Mendel and Bubbe Hinda Deitsch, real people who lived the former Soviet Union not very long ago. In 1941, they left almost everything behind to escape the war by traveling east to Samarkand, later settling in Tashkent. Even in the most difficult circumstances, they devoted their lives to learning Torah, performing mitzvos, and helping others.

Although Bubbe Hinda did barter for wheat during hard times, the events and conversations in this story are fictional.

Their granddaughter, Rochel Sandman, is the author of two other books about her grandparents, entitled, As Big as an Egg and Perfect Porridge. The author lives in Connecticut with her family.

A good story can transport a newly independent reader to another time and place. With The Secret Journey, a fully illustrated leveled reader, your child will absorb Torah values, learn about Jewish history, and develop a love of reading at the same time.

When Reb YItzchak Zilber was a young man, he lived in Communist Russia. The government made strict laws against teaching Torah and observing Jewish holidays. They punished people who wouldn’t spy on others and report them for breaking the rules. Because Reb YItzchak would not tell on a fellow Jew, the government sent him to a work camp that was like a jail. In spite of the danger, the Zilber Family was determined to bake matzah for themselves and to send to Reb Yitzchak.

And it all started with a secret journey!

A wonderful addition to an exciting series for beginning readers!
