A respected Jewish educator here in Seattle has a daughter living in St. Petersburg, Russia, whom she will be visiting in a few weeks. Her daughter's family attends the Reform congregation there, which has a foreign-trained, Russian-born rabbi and director of education. This Seattle educator has asked me to recommend books available in Russian on Jewish topics for ages 1 to 12 years, whether fiction or non-fiction, she might be able to track down and provide for the temple school.
My knowledge in this area is limited (non-existent, actually) so naturally, I'm turning to you for help. She would welcome titles about Judaism and Jewish people, whether non-fiction, fact, or folklore. Are there Bible stories in Russian appropriate for a Jewish school? Guides to celebration? Board books? All suggestions would be welcome. And although she didn't ask me about this, should any of you have actual books, appropriate donations in good shape you'd be willing to send to Seattle for her to take or send, we can discuss the cost of shipping. I think this is a good cause to support. She's going well before convention so I'd appreciate hearing from you soon. Thanks in advance.
