Jewish Mindfulness for Kids

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 2
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

The exercises in this book use everyday Jewish items to inspire mindfulness in children. Imagine you have a piece of fresh challah in one hand and a spoonful of hot chicken soup in the other. Breathe in and smell the challah. Breathe out and blow on the soup. Or meditate with a special word shalom, which means “peace.” Mindfulness, the Jewish value of Yishuv Hada’at, means focusing on this special moment, resting our minds and bodies.

Reviews

Jewish Book Council

“This book is a great resource for chil­dren, fam­i­lies, and teach­ers.”―Jewish Book Council

Association of Jewish Libraries

“The exercises are creative and beautifully exemplify the Jewish concept of Yishuv Ha Da’at—more than mindfulness, creating a connection and harmony to calm oneself. Carrossine’s illustrations bring these exercises to life.”—Association of Jewish Libraries
