Good evening.

I hope this email finds you well.

I am interested in learning if there are any books, written for 
Pre-Schoolers/Kindergartners; who are African American and being raised 
Jewish.


My internet search results continue to be extremely challenging.

I hope you may be able to provide some recommendations and or referrals.

Sincerely,

jackie gorden-platek

Re: [ha-Safran] A book about famous Jews

2017-11-25 Thread Dina Tanners 
I think I found the book I was looking for:  Jewish Heroes and Heroines—Their 
unique achievements.  It includes people in such diverse fields as sculpting, 
chemistry, writing, pharmacology, etc. It was written by D Lyman originally in 
1996. I just ordered a used copy and will see if it is what I was looking for. 
Thanks for all those that offered suggestions.

Re: [ha-Safran] A book about famous Jews

2017-11-25 Thread Dina Tanners 
Thanks Sherry. I appreciate all the suggestions so far but so far no one has 
hit on the one I am thinking about. It also includes famous Jews from other 
countries. 

I wrote the owner of the judaica store ( now closed) where I worked at the time 
and hope she remembers.
