Jordan Bernstein

Biographical Sketch

Jordan Bernstein has a strong Hebrew and Jewish background. He graduated in the second graduating class of Solomon Schechter Day School in Woodmere, NY.

He is retired, and resides in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

This book was written for his grandchildren, so that they would understand the Jewish Religion.

It benefits children, and can be used in a reform or conservative synagogue, as a textbook, gift from the grandparent to child, or simply pleasure reading.

Reviews:

“I was very impressed with the art, the layout and the choice of language that is used. Indeed it can be used very effectively as a tool in teaching the early Bible story. I think small children will enjoy it very much.”
—Hyman Fishman, Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Beth E

"Faith can be sometimes difficult to fully understand. "The Bible According to Grandpa" is a study of Jewish faith and religion as author and grandfather Jordan Bernstein attempts to explain the many Biblical concepts to young readers. Insightful, "The Bible According to Grandpa" is a fine addition to Judaic studies collections for youths."
