Chani Altein has brought to life a most entic­ing rhyme cre­at­ed by Rab­biYosef Gold­stein. ​“Hashem ishere, Hashem is there, Hashem is tru­ly every­where” holds and deliv­ers the­ground­ing prin­ci­ple of Judaism to our youngest in such an all encom­pass­ing andlov­ing man­ner that no doubt is left in one’s mind that Hashem tru­ly isev­ery­where. The rhyming­will gen­tly draw chil­dren into the enor­mous con­cept of Hashem’s vast­ness andyet enable them to visu­al­ize that Hashem is, indeed, right next to them. Altein’s use of a friend, Tzvi, to bethe teacher and mes­sen­ger rein­forces the trans­fer of knowl­edge of Hashem to thenext gen­er­a­tion. Through­graph­ics and rhyme, there is not a space that a child can imag­ine in which­Hashem would not be present and avail­able for them. The illus­tra­tions by Marc Lumer are­de­light­ful­ly vivid, expres­sive and engag­ing. The choice to incor­po­rate Judaicele­ments into the art on each page makes this a trea­sure to explore. As an extra treat, the pages are­lam­i­nat­ed, guar­an­tee­ing con­tin­u­al use. Thi­sis a per­fect book for use in an ear­ly child­hood class­room, a reli­gious schooland cer­tain­ly, a home. Hashem Is Tru­ly Every­where will stand as a clas­sic read­be­gin­ning in infan­cy and beyond.
