Out of the Mouths of Babes: What Children Can Teach Us About Spirituality, Jewish Issues and the Jewish People. Rabbi Bloom's first book is the Jewish answer to Kids Say the Darndest Things. Each chapter features a different lesson about Judaism or spirituality as seen through the eyes of the many children Rabbi Bloom has taught in congregational life. The oft-quoted line "out of the mouths of babes" comes from Psalm 6. The way it is used colloquially it means "can you believe this little person just said that? How can one so young seemingly possess so much wisdom?" More and more, however, in our increasingly complicated world, it takes a child's stark simplicity to make adults see the wisdom and wonder in this world. This book gives 30+ opportunities for adults to become enlightened by our children.

Review
"Adults read between the lines, chilren read on the lines. This book will help adults to be less suspicious and read other people on the lines." -- Rabbi Brian Fox, Temple Emanuel, Sydney, Australia
"Rabbi Bloom's stories are fresh, touching, poignant and a great innovation. So often as adults we lose touch with the innocence of childhood. These stories evoke that feeling for us." -- Cyndi Kaplan, Author of Lifesavers: A Woman's Guide to Survival and There's a Lipstick in my Briefcase
