Synopsis

This is a collection of stories that will capture the hearts and imaginations of children, leading them to an understanding of right from wrong. These parables are from a time gone by and contain important learning lessons about morals, values, and kindness by which to live. All of these tales were shared with the children in the congregation of author Rabbi Daniel Roberts throughout his 35-year career at Temple Emanu El in Cleveland, Ohio. Every story contains a life lesson intended to evoke discussion. Throughout the stories the reader follows a small community and royal family as they are challenged with life lessons and counseled by their Rabbi. Through humor and storytelling this collection is a wonderful reminder that "once upon a time" happens all the time.

About the Authors

DANIEL A. ROBERTS (D.D., D.Min., F.T. USN) is rabbi emeritus of Temple Emanu El, Cleveland, Ohio, where he served for over thirty-five years. During his career he became a master storyteller to young children. Every story began the same way: "Once upon a time there was..." and the children would yell out, "a King." Every story had a moral or value associated with it. The stories making up Once Upon a Kingdom were finally written down and made into this book during the isolation of the COVID Pandemic. Rabbi Roberts is also a Fellow in Thanatology as certified by the Association of Death Education and Counseling and has done extensive work on bereavement and mourning. Rabbi Roberts has produced a video on teenage suicide entitled Inside I Ache that has had national distribution. Rabbi Roberts is the author of a book on Clergy Retirement: Every Ending a New Beginning (Wipf & Stock Publishing Company) and is a co-editor with Melinda Moore of The Suicide Funeral (or Memorial Service): Honoring their Memory, Comforting their Survivors, (Wipf & Stock Publishing Company), and soon to be published: After the Suicide Funeral: Wisdom on the Path to Posttraumatic Growth (Wipf & Stock Publishing Company)
