Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Discover the joy and meaning of Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights.

Lior and his parents, aunties, uncles, grandparents, and cousins are inviting you to celebrate with them! Join in as they make latkes, light the Menorah, recite the Hanukkah blessings, play the dreidel game, and share presents.

Along the way, you'll learn how Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration marked by the daily lighting of a new candle on the Menorah. It brings the Jewish community together by commemorating the victory of the Maccabees over the Greeks.

This bright and engaging picture book covers:

  • The Miracle of Hanukkah
  • The delicious food eaten, such as latkes, noodle kugel, Shabbat, and sufganiyot
  • The fun to be had playing the dreidel game
  • How the Menorah is lit every night using the Shamash
  • The community celebrations at the Synagogue

and more!

...and this glowing gift book is further brought to life with:

  • Instructions to make an edible Menorah
  • A guide to make a Hanukkah tzedakah box
  • A recipe for delicious latkes and apple sauce

In this immersive exploration of Hanukkah, young readers join a practising family as they commemorate the miracle of Hanukkah. Seen through the eyes of young children celebrating themselves, this is a simple and exciting way to introduce little ones to this important Jewish occasion.

Part of the Celebrations & Festivals series, you are invited into a family's celebrations as you explore the magic and excitement of religious and cultural festivals around the world.
