Hanukkah is one of the most beloved holidays in the Jewish year, an eight-day festival of lights, celebrated with games, storytelling, and special foods. 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 and wise sayings, from delicious recipes to children's games, this treasury is certain to entertain and engage the entire family.
