PreS–As a young girl participates in a celebration to welcome a new Torah scroll to her synagogue, she explains and describes what she sees. The sofer (scribe) uses a quill pen and special black ink to write the letters on soft parchment; everyone wears Shabbos (Sabbath) clothes; the Torah is dressed in velvet with a silver crown and is carried under a chuppah (canopy). The whole neighborhood takes part in a parade with music, dancing, torches, and flags; and the new Torah is read from in the shul (synagogue), where the celebration continues with more singing and dancing. The oil paintings portray a contemporary Jewish community and are attractively framed by brightly colored background paper. Libraries serving observant Jewish communities will welcome this modern depiction of an important neighborhood event.–Rachel Kamin, Temple Israel Libraries & Media Center, West Bloomfield, MI

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Ito Esther Perez (illustrator). Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr.
