There Was a Young Rabbi [hc]
A Hanukkah Tale
Written by Suzanne Wolfe & illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler [Ohio]
Hanukkah is a very busy time! Join the young rabbi as she makes festive preparations- spinning the dreidel, cooking a tasty meal, lighting the menorah, and more- in this cumulative, rhyming story reminding readers of the Hanukkah miracle of long ago! Learn about Hanukkah’s festivities and rituals, and about the Jewish holiday itself. 24 pages
“The story is sprinkled liberally with all the beloved traditions, from dreidels, chocolate gelt, and a warm family gathering at the end. Children will delight in repeating each verse as it gets longer and longer. A dash of Hanukkah facts and a back page that retells the story of the Maccabees round out this story. A fun read for any Hanukkah celebration.” -San Diego Jewish World
