A Dreidel in Time
A Dreidel in Time: A New Spin on an Old Tale | Marcia Berneger
1 post | 1 read
Devorah and Benjamin are excited to open their Hanukkah present from Bubbe and Zayde, which turns out to be an ugly old dreidel. It's a big disappointment--until the dreidel transports them out of modern Los Angeles to join the ancient Maccabees! Once they convince a suspicious Judah Maccabee and their new friends that they've arrived to help, they use what they know about the Hanukkah story from Hebrew school to aid the Maccabees in their battle against Antiochus. The kids know that the miracle of Hanukkah relies on finding the special oil for the Temple menorah, but where can it be?

Everyone‘s reading Christmas books & I wanted some holiday reading fun too! (I‘ve always celebrated Christmas b/c dad‘s not Jewish, but the older I get, the more Jewish I wanna be.) Fun & engaging time travel story of the Maccabees‘ fight against Antiochus & the first Hanukkah. The siblings at the center of the story are sweet & smart, helping to win the fight & find the miraculous 8-night oil. Fun & educational for kids...or adults! 4/5 ⭐️
