Reviews

While most of the stories I've recommended here presuppose a general knowledge of the holiday, All About Hanukkah-part of the wonderful All About series from Kar-Ben Publishing-is a great first-time introduction to the holiday. It covers everything you'd want to know: the story of Chanukah, the blessings over the candles, the rules of the dreidel game, and recipes for traditional Chanukah foods such as latkes and sufganiyot (doughnuts).--Noodlenuts-- "Website"
