The Book of Genesis is the first of the five books attributed to
Moses in the Torah. To aid families who wish to teach their children
ages 8 to 14 the traditional stories of Genesis as part of their
preparations for Bar or Bat Mitzvah examinations and ceremonies,
"Genesis: The Book with Seventy Faces" by psychologist and
children's author Esther Takac encourages children and parents to
read together as a part of a shared Torah study. Profusely illustrated
throughout, "Genesis: The Book with Seventy Faces" includes a
'reader friendly' text which is enhanced with source material
and historical background in margin boxes, as well as references to end
notes for commentaries and source materials. Especially recommended for
personal, family, synagogue, and community library Judaic Studies
reference collections for young readers, "Genesis: The Book with
Seventy Faces" is a superb introduction to the lore and literature
associated with the Book of Genesis.
