Bring your little ones to the Vilna Shul this March for a Passover book reading especially for kids!
This year we are welcoming local author Linda Marshall who will read her award winning book, The Passover Lamb. Named a Notable Book for Younger Readers for 2014 by the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee of the Association of Jewish Libraries, Linda’s richly-illustrated story follows the tale of Miriam, a little girl who sets out to save one of her family’s newborn lambs right as Passover is approaching.

Linda is the author of many other wonderful children’s books, includingTalia and the Rude Vegetables andThe Mitzvah Magician. Her next book,Talia and the Very YUM Kippur, is set to arrive on bookshelves this fall.
