The beau­ti­ful cus­tom of ded­i­cat­ing a let­ter in a new­ly writ­ten Torah scroll to an indi­vid­ual as a spe­cial hon­or is described here in well-scan­ning rhyme with col­or­ful, lam­i­nat­ed illustration.

As the sofer (scribe) writes each let­ter on a new Torah parch­ment, the let­ter can be ded­i­cat­ed as a gift to some­one spe­cial. A cer­tifi­cate to that effect can be writ­ten, framed, and pre­sent­ed to the hon­oree. In this book, a young boy tells a young girl that he was the recip­i­ent of such a gift and they con­nect this con­cept to the uni­ty of the Jew­ish people. 

This is part of a Chabad young chil­dren’s series with bright, appeal­ing col­ors and wipe-clean lam­i­nat­ed pages which presents an array of top­ics relat­ed to Jew­ish life. All boys are illus­trat­ed with kip­pot and groups of boys stand sep­a­rate­ly from groups of girls yet the over­all feel­ing and spir­it are inclusive. 

Rec­om­mend­ed for ages 2 – 5.
