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.
