Gates of Wonder - Visual T'filah™ A Prayerbook for Very Young Children
Text by Howard Bogot, Robert Orkand and Joyce Orkand Illustrated and Designed by Neil Waldman
This is the first official prayerbook for young children ever produced by the Reform Movement, now available as Visual T'filah™. Intended for pre-school children through six years of age, Gates of Wonder is beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Neil Waldman. As young children enter the Gates of Wonder they will experience a world of beauty, a world of mystery and the enduring world of Jewish prayer.
