A family goes camping in Israel to celebrate Rosh Chodesh, the new month. Clear text explains the significance of the new moon in Jewish tradition and delves quite deeply into an age-appropriate scientific explanation; food, culture, and geography are also incorporated. Intimate family photographs are interspersed with nature shots. A craft activity and further information are appended. A glossary would have been helpful.
