Hanukkah (also spelled Chanukah) celebrates the 164 B.C.E. victory of a small rebel army, the Maccabees, over the Jews' Syrian-Greek oppressors and the miracle of a small amount of oil lasting for eight days as it burned in the defiled temple's lampstand. This book helps introduce Hanukkah symbols and traditions to babies and toddlers.
