Starlight and Candles: The Joys of the Sabbath

Fran Manushkin

This affectionate look at the traditions of the Sabbath follows a family through the hectic preparations to the peaceful time of the Sabbath itself--a time for dinner with the family, stories from grandparents, attendance at the Synagogue. Three stars in the sky signal the end of the Sabbath, but the children know there will be another one--forever and ever. Full color.
