"If I Should Die Before I Wake, I Pray the Lord My Soul to Take"

May 18, 2012 - PRLog -- Each evening before bedtime, children recite a common prayer without even thinking of its meaning: If I Should Die Before I Wake, I Pray the Lord My Soul to Take. This powerful book takes the prayer words seriously, while posing some meaningful questions to children.

Imagine you are studying for your Bar Mitzvah, when suddenly you dream that you have been transported back in time to Poland during the Holocaust. Then you dream that you are in Poland in the Middle Ages, when gentiles believed that Jews are subhuman and should be eradicated. What does it mean to be a Jew, then or now? What is the true reality?

In this stunning story, Reuben Maimon, an impressionable young man who is turning 13, is about to take his Bar Mitzvah vows. He questions who he is and the ceremony’s purpose. What is the point of a modern ceremony if it doesn’t give Jews a link with the past? Imagine you are Reuben Maimon and not knowing what is reality and what is a dream. Then imagine, what would happen If I Should Die Before I Wake.
