About
About The Menschkins
The Menschkins are six animal friends who help children ages 3–8 and their families understand and celebrate Jewish holidays and traditions, through stories, family guides, and songs. Published by L'Dor V'Dor Press.
Who the Menschkins are
The Menschkins are six animal friends: Saba the owl, Izzy the fox, Lila the lamb, Miri the bear, Natan the mouse, and Judah the lion. Together they help young children understand what each Jewish holiday means, why we celebrate it, and how families can celebrate it together.
Every story, guide, and activity is written to be read aloud, so a grown-up and a child can explore it side by side.
