Hanukkah Shmanukkah                          back
By Esme Raji Codell
$16.99 h/c

"Shmendrick, pick up the pace or I'll give
you such a zetz!", said Scroogemacher to the poor workers in his turn-of-the century waistcoat factory.  Hanukkah was just another night to Scroogemacher.  He even had the nerve to set the clocks back on the eighth night despite his workers' protests.  But after some unexpected time travel with three ghostly rabbis ("I have come to schlep you to hotzeplotz", said the first rabbi), he begins to understand that some good can actually happen from a little remembering. This imaginative rewrite of Dickens' iconic story with a Yiddish spin, portrays historical struggles of both the ancient Maccabees and European immigrants as they strived to
attain equality and freedom in an unwelcoming world.  These struggles present modern readers with valuable lessons never to be forgotten. All ages.

Moishe’s Miracle                                    back

A Hanukkah miracle befalls generous and poor milkman Moishe, and his greedy, short tempered wife, when Moishe is given a frying pan that magically produces unlimited amounts of latkes. Moishe shares his fortune with his equally poor neighbors, but his wife sees it as a way to get rich.  A warm-hearted Jewish folktale of mystery, humor and good food.  Ages 4-8.

When Mindy Saved Hanukkah                  back
By Eric Kimmel
$5.99 pb

Once upon a time, a miniature family named Klein lived behind the walls of the Eldridge Street Synagogue in NY at the turn of the century.  On the day before Hanukkah, Papa ventures out to "borrow" a candle from the synagogue so it can be melted down into tiny candles for the family's miniature menorah. But there’s a problem — he is “attacked” by the synagogue’s cat, rendering him shaken and empty handed.  How will the Kleins obtain a candle with this killer cat on the loose?  Can brave little Mindy save the day?  Ages 4-8.
