In realizing its mission of promoting Jewish education, Oy Toys carries the Shira Series and the Rabbi Rocketpower series books that not only expose children to delightful stories about Jewish holidays, but offer a little mind-bending treat as well. Many of the books featured by Oy Toys/And Thou Shalt Read are published through nontraditional means.
Sabbag told us, “I wrote Shira, Detective - Chametz Detective when after telling the students about the custom of cleaning out the chametz, one of my students went home and became the chametz detective with her parents. I hope that all my Shira stories will help families celebrate Judaism together.”
About Challah, a Chewish Guide to Torah: “After a friend posted a picture of her challah shaped as a menorah, I was inspired to create challahs that represented some part of each Torah portion. I hope this book will motivate families to the weekly practice of not just making challah, but making challah with a taste of Torah,” said author Susan Abramson.
Oy Toys owner RuthE Levy said, “’Chewish Guide’ and Shira represent books that offer a fresh approach to telling Jewish stories. They are great for both home and the classroom. We’re proud to be able to offer these books by new authors at Oy Toys and And Thou Shalt Read.”
There are six books in the Rabbi Rocketpower Series currently that include Who Hogged the Halla, and Shabbat Shabbang. Books in the Shira Series include Shabbat in the Playroom and Rimon for Shira. They are being featured at the Association of Jewish Libraries Conference in Silver Springs, MD.
