Description
[Machine Translation] Hanukkah is an annual Jewish festival held in December. For the eight days of the festival, a candle from a nine-branch candlestick (one is used as a kindling) is lit each night. This tradition is based on the legend that when the Temple of Jerusalem was restored from the pagans in the 2nd century B.C., only one day's worth of oil from the purifying lamps burned for eight days in order to cleanse the damaged temple. This picture book depicts Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah at various times and places. The book depicts Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah at various times and places: in a desert encampment, on an immigrant ship to the Americas, in a Jewish settlement in America, in a Russian Jewish village centered around a church (synagogue), on a Jewish farm (kibbutz) in Israel, and culminating in a spectacular final scene when the stars light the candelabra of a high-rise building on fire.
