For thousands of years, since the days that King David authored
most of them, Psalms (Tehillim in Hebrew) have been recited with great feeling
at all important occasions. Tehillim are read for joyful occasions, at times
of illness, or times we cry out for protection. All of us want the best that
there can be for our children. They make us laugh, they make us cry. We fear
for their safety. They inspire us. They comfort us. In a myriad of ways,
babies and Psalms go together. These Miniature Books of Psalms are meant
to be kept next to our babies (of course, out of her/his reach) for protection
and our silent prayer as parents that they grow up healthy, happy, and Jewishly
inspired.
