Hanukkah (Second Edition)

"A glance at the table of contents, from storytelling and recipes to theology, offers evidence of the author's comprehensive grasp of the family. The book is helpful to the family that strives to induct its members into the spirituality and joys of Jewishness and Judaism."

-Dr. Egon Mayer, Center for Jewish Studies, City University of New York
