Praise for How to Raise a Jewish Child

"A delightful and helpful parenting guide that tackles obvious as well as difficult issues. Anyone looking to bring Judaism into his or her family will appreciate page after page of helpful suggestions. Those who already 'do' will feel good and strive to do more Jewishly; those who 'don't' but are searching can confidently find a point of entry. An important contribution." --The Jerusalem Report

"Diamant and Kushner help parents raise healthy, happy children with an eye on Judaism's rich, varied, and life-affirming traditions and values. The authors emphasize teaching children not only to understand their religion, but to embrace it and become charitable adults as a result." --St. Petersburg Times

"Will be just as dog-eared and thumb-worn as The New Jewish Wedding. It addresses real issues of raising children in an open society while trumpeting the power of Jewish tradition and texts to imbue contemporary family life with transcendental meaning. A wonderful addition to any Jewish library." --Professor Carol K. Ingall, Jewish Theological Seminary
