Synopses & Reviews
Hanukkah is one of the most beloved holidays in the Jewish year, an eight-day festival of lights, games, and celebration. It honors a tiny band of heroes, armed with little more than their faith in God, who defeated a mighty empire and proved that miracles truly do happen for those with the courage to believe in them.
Eric A. Kimmel presents a wonderful Hanukkah compilation, filled with the history and flavor of this unique holiday. From familiar legends to contemporary stories, from delicious recipes to children's games, this is a treasury that will entertain and engage the whole family.
