Viduy Booklet For Kids (Paperback)

A Companion To The Yom Kippur Machzor Over Yom Kippur, the Viduy tefilah is said multiple times. Viduy (confessing what one did wrong) is one of the 613 mitzvos of the Torah. Unlike davening, where the mere recitation of the words satisfies the requirements of the mitzvah, one who says the words of Viduy without understanding their meaning does not fulfill the mitzvah. In order for the confession to be effective, one must comprehend what he is saying and recite the words with intent. The purpose of this booklet is to make Viduy accessible to children ages 9-16, for whom reading the English translation in the machzor would not sufficiently explain the meaning of the words. Written in easy-to-understand language and with examples that are applicable to children's lives, this booklet will make the Yom Kippur davening more meaningful and relevant to children of all ages. "In preparing this Viduy Booklet for Kids, Morah Adina Broder creates a highly readable, child friendly guide to the Yom Kippur Viduy that will surely enhance young people's understanding and kavanah (intention) when reciting the viduy that recurs so many times during the Yom Kippur service. As an educator par excellence, who touches the heartstrings as well as teaches, Morah Broder brings both an age-appropriate sensitivity to the text and its meaning, as well as concrete examples from the everyday lives of students, that will surely resonate with young people when they use the Booklet as a learning tool and especially as a companion to the Machzor. I hope that it will be used by both schools and parents." MRS. ROOKIE BILLET, Shulamith School for Girls, MD Principal "This booklet is recommended even for minor children as an exercise in chinuch for the mitzvah of teshuva... This work will make Yom Kippur and teshuva more meaningful to youngsters... I commend the authoress on a quality presentation and for a valuable contribution to the Torah community." RABBI ZEV LEFF, Rav of Moshav Matityahu "Mrs. Broder has done a tremendous service for our youth, by opening up to them much of the rabbinic concepts expressed in our vidui... May this booklet instill deep feelings of repentance in both young and old..."
