This would be good for older elementary school students. It is a factual book that goes through Hanukkah and the traditions that people who celebrate this holiday do. This would be good in the classroom because it educates students on different religious beliefs and exposes them to different cultures than their own.

The Feast of Dedication, or "Hanukkah," was instituted by the Jewish Maccabees, at the consecration of a new altar in the Jewish temple, after the former one had been desecrated by the pagan sacrifices of Antiochus "Epiphanes." Our Lord Jesus Christ was in attendance at the temple during the Feast of Hanukkah in John 10:22-23:

"And it was at Jerusalem the Feast of the Dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch."

In the ancient Jewish practice, it was customary to chant the following Psalm during the Feast of Hanukkah:

"{A Psalm and Song at the Dedication of the house of David.} I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication. What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever" (Psalm 29[30]).

Hanukkah usually falls in December, but it can also occur as early as late November about the time of the Presentation of the Theotokos in the Temple, when she was dedicated by her parents, Yoachim and Anna, to the service of God.

Like the Feast of Theophany, the Feast of Hanukkah is called "The Festival of Lights." ( )

For those looking for an explanation of the historical events that led to Hanukkah, this picture book is the end of your search. The book begins by delving into history to explain the origins of this major celebration for the Jewish culture. Without worrying about specific dates, it tells of a time long ago, when Jewish people lived happily as farmers and shepherds. It describes the Temple as the House of God, and points out that Jews all visited their beautiful temple. Then it describes the reign of Antiochus IV, who persecuted the Jews for their belief, and how the Maccabees resisted the Greek soldiers and restored the Temple. It ends by briefly mentioning the miracle of the oil lasting for eight days, until new oil could be made. The book concludes with an explanation of how modern Hanukkah celebrations relate to these historical events. The last two pages offer a recipe for latkes and instructions on how to play the dreidel game.

The text is clear and easy to follow, and simplifies complicated historical developments in a way that still conveys the essence of the situation. The illustrations are in acrylic, and are bright and appealing. They present the fighting in a stylized way that shows what occurred without being too violent or scary. The one disappointment that I have with the book is that it minimizes the spiritual associations of the holiday. For example, it describes the oil lasting for eight days, but doesn't explain that the people considered it a miracle from God. It describes the Temple as the House of God, and mentions that everyone visited it, but never once indicates that this was a place of worship, or that its importance to the Jewish people came from it being a holy place. The book avoids any suggestions to why the Temple was called the House of God. Overall, it is a lovely book that presents a simple and factual accounting of the origins of Hanukkah, but leaves out the heart of the holiday. ( )

This book did a great job at telling the story of Hanukkah. The text was simple, accurate, and clear for children to understand. The pictures were vibrant. ( )
