Generation to Generation-Passing on a Legacy of Faith to Our Children by Yael Eckstein



It's my pleasure to introduce Generation to Generation. As I read through the pages, I felt a deeper connection to my Jewish brothers and sisters in Christ.  Their many celebrations and traditions became clear. The values and rituals observed became evident how important it is to instill in our children, the habit of asking questions. 

Faith and courage are two aspects of becoming the type of person God wants us to be and passing the importance of them down to our children. They can then determine what is right and what is only popular within our world.

The book gave me a chance to review those values that have been important to me as a Christian and determine that although the Jewish traditions may be different, we all share the same God.

The workbook is Free on the website and I would suggest you at least take advantage of that resource. It covers everything in the book with suggestions on how to enjoy the material as a family. 

 

Generation to Generation: Passing on a Legacy of Faith to Our Children



One of the greatest gifts we can pass on to our children and our grandchildren is the legacy of faith. In Judaism, this is known as l’dor v’dor, “from generation to generation,” and expresses how faith is passed down from one generation to the next through the holy observances and traditions that happen within the life of the family.

In Generation to Generation, Yael Eckstein shares the lessons of faith instilled in her by her parents that helped her to persevere following the sudden death of her father, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, and gave her the hope and courage she needed to follow in his footsteps as President and CEO of The Fellowship.

Generation to Generation unlocks these holy observances and traditions and reveals the key values each one reinforces. These are the values that Yael Eckstein and her husband are now passing on to their four children, and that will allow you to pass on a strong and living faith to your children and grandchildren.
