Hanukkah (Celebrations & Festivals)

Written by Lesléa Newman and Illustrated by Rotem Teplow

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.
