With almost 400 Hanukkah titles to choose from in the Rabbi Richard B. Safran library, it might be hard to pick just one – or just one for each night. Here are some suggestions. Just in time for Hanukkah, which begins Tuesday, December 12, we have four new holiday picture books.
· Sammy Spider’s Hanukkah Colors by Sylvia Rouss is Sammy’s latest board book for our very youngest readers. Sammy learns about the holiday and colors at the same time.
· The Missing Letters: A Dreidel Story by Rene Londner is a fun look at the Hebrew letters on the wooden toys. Here the letters come to life, with gimel the target of the others’ jealousy.
· Way Too Many Latkes: A Hanukkah in Chelm by Linda Glaser brings Hanukkah to the infamous citizens of Chelm. The author of the award-winning, Hannah’s Way and On One Foot returns with a humorous take on cooking for the holiday.
· Judah Maccabee Goes to the Doctor by Ann Koffsky is a Hanukkah book that might help with those flu shots! Judah and Hannah have their annual check-ups during Hanukkah, and Judah learns a new way that he can serve as a “shield” for his baby sister.
Along with our four new titles, we have more than 350 books, music CDs and DVDs to help celebrate the holiday! From Hanukkah in America: A History by Dianne Ashton for adults to Shalom Sesame videos for the kids, we have lots to offer. Please take advantage of this free resource for Temple families.
