Book Description
"Jewish Just Like You" is the first children's book for the children of Jewish converts, written by convert Kylie Ora Lobell. This book teaches children about the process of Jewish conversion that one or both of their parents may have gone through, as well as how converts are just like Jews who were born Jewish. It is an uplifting and empowering book that answers questions that children of converts may have. Perfect for elementary-school aged children and up, it touches on key Jewish concepts like having Shabbat dinner, lighting Hanukkah candles, saying the Shema, having strong values, studying Torah, and having pride in Israel. Praise for "Jewish Just Like You" from today's influential Jewish leaders "An emotionally uplifting, profound yet fun book, written by one of the most sincere, talented and insightful writers of our time, beautifully illustrated, that will be a blessing and a treat to children and parents alike!"- Rabbi Jason Weiner, senior rabbi and director of the Spiritual Care Department at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, and rabbi at Knesset Israel Congregation of Beverlywood "Kylie Ora Lobell is one of today's most eloquent Jewish voices in print. This book fills an important gap in the market and introduces children to sensitive and nuanced subject matter in a gentle and positive way, overflowing with Jewish pride. 'Jewish Just Like You' will capture your heart with its sincerity, powerful imagery and clear presentation." - Rabbi Elchanan Shoff of Beis Knesses of Los Angeles and author of, "Paradise: Breathtaking Strolls through the Length and Breadth of Torah" "This is a delightful and charming story with captivating illustrations. The story's positive theme about being the child of a convert is a much-needed and timely contribution to diversity in literature for young Jewish children." - Judy Gruen, author of "The Skeptic and the Rabbi: Falling in Love with Faith" About the Author Kylie Ora Lobell is a writer and personal essayist who has been published in New York Magazine, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles, The Forward, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Chabad.org, Tablet Magazine, Alma, Aish, Mayim Bialik's GrokNation, and Jew in the City. Originally from Baltimore, she is a convert to Judaism who lives in Los Angeles with her husband, comedian Daniel Lobell, her daughter, and her two dogs, four chickens, two tortoises, and hedgehog. About the Illustrator Barbara "Willy" Mendes is an American cartoonist and fine artist.
