Hanukkah
Hanukkah (also known as the "Festival of Lights" or the
"Festival of Dedication") is Jewish holiday that
falls in December, late November, or occasionally early January.
The festival is observed in Jewish homes by kindling lights on
each of the festival's eight nights (one on the first night, two
on the second night, and so on).
The festival commemorates the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem
after its desecration by Seleucid ruler, Antiochus IV. According to the
Talmud, after the Maccabees (Jewish rebels fighting the Seleucid Empire)
had defeated Antiochus IV, there was only enough consecrated
olive oil to
fuel the eternal flame in the Temple for one day. However, a miracle allowed
the oil to burn for eight days, which was enough time to prepare and
consecrate new oil.

Product Description: On a cold December night during the height of the Revolutionary War, General George Washington surveys his weary troops at Valley Forge. He spies a soldier lighting a candle. Curious, he asks the soldier what he is doing. The soldier explains that he is celebrating the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. He goes on to relate a miraculous story—how long ago a ragtag army of Jewish soldiers defeated a much larger force of powerful Greeks, a tale that provides just the kind of inspiration General Washington needs. Stephen Krensky’s fictionalized version of a poignant historical anecdote is brought vividly to life in Greg Harlin’s brilliant watercolor illustrations. |

Product Description: In Celebrate Hanukkah Deborah Heiligman welcomes readers to a holiday celebrated by Jewish communities around the world.
The vivid photography of National Geographic illustrates the joyous celebrations of Jewish people around the world—including Ghana, Uganda, India, Israel, Peru, the United States and Poland, as they light menorahs, spin dreidels, and make latkes.
The richly informative back matter details many facts, such as the story of U.S. astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman, who brought a menorah and a dreidel on his Space Shuttle mission in 1993. Hoffman observed the traditional spinning of the dreidel, but wisely left the menorah unlit in the proximity of several thousand liters of rocket fuel! Also included are the author's sure-to-please latke recipe, Hanukkah blessings, and a Hanukkah song.
A note from Rabbi Shira Stern, the book's consultant, sets the holiday in its global religious and cultural context. |
