Harvey Sukenic Hebrew College Library THE KIDS¹ FUN BOOK OF JEWISH TIME, by Emily Sper. THROUGH COLORFUL, CLEVER PAPER ENGINEERING, THE JEWISH CALENDAR COMES ALIVE FOR KIDS Lift! Turn! Pull! Learn! Teaching children the concepts of Jewish time can be a challengeuntil now. Through interactive and educational fun, children and parents can now explore the Jewish calendar together, finding answers to questions such as, how do we count days?
