This was a very nice little book. While it reflects a more traditional view of Hanukkah, it resonates nicely with it's modern stories and my family enjoyed adding it to our holiday reading.Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This short volume consists of 10 brief plays and 2 short, very short, stories all centered, as the title clearly tells around the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. Although the back cover indicates that the collection is aimed at “readers young and old” it seems better suited for children even if a couple of the plays may not be entirely suitable.The book contains works by 10 different authors about whom, unfortunately, little is said in the book. Only a brief description is given for each, such as: “author of educational children’s plays”, “rabbis”, and there isn’t any information on the writers’ countries of origin. Not that it matters much since the stories should stand on their entertaining and educational merits. The authors are: Jacob J, Leibson Alexander Lyons - 2 plays Irma Kraft Isaac Loev Peretz - one of the two stories in the book (translated) Louis Broido Louis Witt Elma Levinger - one story and a play Ruth E. Levi Joseph Leiser Solomon Fineberg The stories and plays are mostly instructive but they may be more entertaining for readers who are already familiar with the Jewish religious background. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This is a collection of plays, curated for this publication. Some are older in language and tone (thy and whilest) and some are more modern. They also range in setting - from a Biblical time period, to the Macabees, to modern day (although modern here is probably the late 1900s). I was hoping for more modern plays that could be used in a religious school (Sunday school) type setting with elementary age students. This won't work for that, as it is a historical overview of the play adaptations of the Channukah story. It could use more introduction and framing of the different plays, but I understand that isn't the style of the publisher. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The Big Festival of Lights: Stories and Plays for Hanukkah is a collection of short fiction and plays by nine prominent Jewish figures of the early twentieth-century meant to capture and celebrate the spirit of the holiday. In, "By the Light of Hanukkah: A Play in Three Acts," by Solomon Fineberg, a young man named David awaits to hear about his admittance to the American Rabbinical College while his blind sister Esther quietly wishes to regain her sight. Elma Levinger's "The Unlighted Menorah: A Hanukkah Fantasy," tells the story of Abraham Mendelssohn, an old man at the end of his life grappling with his decision to assimilate his son into American culture; and "Hanukkah Evening" is a charming story of a family waiting for their father to return home to light the first candle on the Menorah. With these and eight additional stories, The Big Festival of Lights: Stories and Plays for Hanukkah is a collection that features tales of families, tradition and culture pride for readers young and old. Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of The Big Festival of Lights: Stories and Plays for Hanukkah is a celebration of Jewish culture reimagined for a modern audience.
