From the Publisher
Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication, or the Festival of Lights, is not the Jewish alternative to Christmas. Although it is celebrated in the winter, this festive holiday descrobes a story all its own--of faithfulness to God, of bravery against all odds, and of the rededication of a defiled Temple.
For Jews, Hanukkah is a time of bright lights, of delicious smells, of delightful singing, presents, and games. It is a time to proudly remember our heroes and wonder at the miracles of God. But it is not just for Jews!
Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah--himself a Jew--also celebrated Hanukkah as recorded in the Gospel of John. So why shouldn’t Christians follow his example and embrace this joyous time?
Here, Barry Rubin and his family share the history and traditions of Hanukkah for all who wish to learn. Dedicate and Celebrate includes the story of Hanukkah, holiday songs, recipes, rules for playing the Hanukkah games and even how to light a Hanukkah menorah.
