Hi everyone, Thank you for the suggestions that came in. Based on the "Jewish Values Finder," Amazon search, my own brainstorming, and combing through our library holdings, I came up with the following 15 books to offer to our rabbi to think about for his presentation to parents. He specifically wanted included books not directly about anti-Semitism, but which could lead to the discussion with children. I'll let you know the feedback I get. All of the books below are in our Temple library. Clare Kinberg, Temple Beth Emeth, Ann Arbor.
