Now available as Visual T'filah™ for early childhood or family High Holy Day services, Gates of Awe is part of a series of prayerbooks for early childhood use, containing rich and enchanting illustrations combined with poetic text that enhances the sense of awe found during the Holy Days. The special qualities of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are skillfully introduced to young worshippers through the inspiration of prayer, the excitement of the Shofar and the lessons in the stories of Abraham and Torah.
